           Summary: kernel/udev not recognizing joystick/creating joystick
                    device
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux
        AssignedTo: ben.collins at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: elliotf-ubuntu-wiki at gratuitous.net

upgraded system from hoary to breezy, and joystick devices are not longer
recognized/created as devices under /dev.  Joysticks were previously recognized
when hoary was installed.  Motherboard is Asus A7N-8X, nvidia chipset.  Original
message to ubuntu-dev mailing list follows:

I'm having an issue with breezy not recognizing usb joysticks.  Hoary sees them
fine, and udev creates the /dev/input/jsX device, but breezy does not.  I cannot
tell if udev's rules are not right, or if the kernel is not recognizing the
device.  Any ideas?  Unfortunately, they are two different machines.  When the
breezy machine
was running hoary, it recognized the joystick just fine.  Again, these are two
different machines.  I will reinstall to hoary (from breezy) if requested. 
Tasty bits of info follow:

Hoary kernel/udev version:
