I can't seem to make my CH Fighterstick Pro and my CH Pro Throttle work on my Karmic Koala (9.10) 64 bit system. The CH Pro Pedals joystick seems to work just fine on the same system.

Interestingly, the joysticks do register:

but no matter how I move the joystick, there's no effect.

this is the case for the CH FigherStick Pro and the CH Pro Throttle. interestingly, a CH Pro Pedal works fine in the same system.

the same joysticks work fine on an Ubuntu 8.10 system.

was there some major change in the kernel that made the joystick not work?
