Running kernel 3.10.17. Current module list:

Code:

When plugged in, the joystick shows up in dmesg:

Code:

$ dmesg | grep -i joystick
[384529.527992] logitech 0003:046D:C218.0009: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Joystick [Logitech Logitech Rumblepad 2 USB] on usb-0000:00:12.0-1/input0


But evtest doesn't pick up anything:

Code:

$ sudo evtest
Password:
No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event*
Available devices:
/dev/input/event0:      Lid Switch

Select the device event number [0-7]:


Nothing new shows up in /dev/input/by-path or by-id, either.

This has something to do with the non-standard HID of the Logitech Rumblepad 2 USB. A different joystick worked. It also worked when I flipped the switch on the back to put it into X-Box mode.

I also tried the hid_logitech_dj module, but without success.
