Odd Joystick/epsxe problem

Hey,

I'm getting this weird happening on epsxe. Firstly I have a Logitech Rumblepad Pro gamepad that I'm using to play games on epsxe. The version of epsxe is 1.5.2 and 1.6.0, and I have a feeling it will do this with all versions. I don't think the plugins have anything to do with it because it happens with all plugins I've used, but they are Ammoq's, padJoy, and OmniJoy.

Nowthen the rumblepad supports Analog and D-pad mode, and you press a button at the top to choose between the two, actually it does nothing more than set whether the direction input is taken from the D-pad or from the joystick. When the device is plugged in, it naturally defaults to analog mode.

What's happening is when I start a game, if at any time the D-pad mode is toggled, the system will go into kernel panic. I have tried this on a couple of other emulators and games and it only happens in epsxe. Even crazier, it works for a few days before doing this! At first I was using PadJoy, and then when it started doing it I fought and scratched and finally set up an older version of the emulator with a different input plugin that worked temporarily, but now it does it with that one too! I'm baffled.

do you have rumble support (aka force feedback) enabled in your kernel?

that is known to be, uh, buggy, to say the least.
