Description of problem: When one goes to setup thier joystick, rather than popping up the "press button" screen and waiting for user input, it defaluts almost instantly to "axis 0 -". Even when the device is disbled, it still does this on the device's settings page. During gameplay, the joystick works fine if using the default settings (axis 0 doesn't hang in either direction). The issue only occurs I am not sure if this is realted, but I am using a modified xbox controller via the xpad module. In cauldron this was workign fine, even after I changed the repos when 2 became stable. This only seems to happen on fresh installs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Easily Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to the settings menu of STK 2. try to edit the profile for your joystick by selection a function to re-assign.

After some experimentation, I found a possible cause of the problem. First, unlike my upgraded install on another computer, STK recognized the receiver to my Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 6000 as an imput device. I also discovered that despite only having my gamepad plugged in, there were two joysticks in /dev/input, js0 and js1. I then used jstest to discover that js1 represented the gamepad, while js0 represented something else. After running "rm /dev/imput/js0", my mouse no longer showed up as an input device in STK and I was able to properly setup my gamepad. Therefore, whatever is causing my microsoft wireless receiver to register as a joystick is likely the cause of this bug.
Edit to above: the command I ran was "rm /dev/input/js0".
Assigning back to bugsquad as it's not a SuperTuxKart issue. N.B: are you on a laptop? Sometime, mouse is seen as a joystick.

Yup, its a laptop.
On my laptop, it's the accelerometer that is seen as a joystick, so it's even worse :) I don't know what the solution to this could be. I wonder how other distributions manage this kind of issue.

Is the problem still present in Mageia 3?

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life. Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.
