This is a bit off topic, since, although pydance is an audio app of
sorts, my problem isn't with the audio, but there's enough expertise
here that someone might be able to help. I have tried both the
pydance mailing list and comp.os.linux.hardware, and haven't made any
progress.
I got a USB mat from Level6 to use with pydance, and it looks like the
system is recognizing it as a joystick, but I can't get it to read any
events. I checked it on a Windows 98 system, and it has no problem
seeing the button events, so I think the hardware is probably OK.
When I boot with the mat attached, I get:
hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found
hub 2-0:1.0: 2 ports detected
usbcore: registered new driver hiddev
ieee1394: Initialized config rom entry `ip1394'
input: USB HID v1.00 Gamepad [Dance Dance ] on usb-0000:00:11.0-2
usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver
pydance says on startup:
1 joystick(s) found.
Joystick 0 initialized: 3 axes, 10 buttons.
Loaded input configuration.
But it registers everything I do when I dance as a miss.
When I run jstest, I get:
[~]# jstest /dev/js0
Joystick (Dance Dance ) has 3 axes and 10 buttons. Driver version is
2.1.0.

But nothing more happens when I step on the pad.
uname -a says:
Linux tuba 2.6.9 #2 SMP Tue Nov 9 12:07:52 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
What else do I need to do?
