Comment 22 for bug 636311

Not sure if this is related to this bug or relevant, but Ubuntu also thinks that my Microsoft keyboard is a joystick. I reported a bug about it over a year ago and it has been confirmed (but not fixed yet) - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/390959 - and that tends to mess about with things like games.

So Microsoft keyboards are now being picked up as a keyboard, mouse and joystick.. the joystick bug is persistent though, not just when a special key is used.
