>"In Lucid, I do not get this error message in dmesg. However the LED on the joystick does not light, so it looks like the joystick is not correctly initialized. I had nothing to test the joystick with so I could not check. I could write a C program to test the joystick in the Lucid Live CD but I do not have the time now."

Thank you for opening an upstream report. In the future, in order to maximize the speed your linux (Ubuntu) kernel bug is fixed, it is best to wait until a bug report has been marked Triaged, and in turn, consult the Ubuntu Kernel Team upstream article https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelTeam/ KernelTeamBugPo licies# Overview_ on_Reporting_ Bugs_Upstream .
Thank you for your understanding.
