In D1X & D2X my Joystick is uncontrollable.
I can turn left or pitch down, but I cannot
turn right, nor pitch up.

It works OK in D3 though.

I have calibrated, re-calibrated & tested the joystick and
it checks out ok.

I have tried both my TM Attack Throttle plugged into
the SB Live! gameport, and a Cyborg 3D Gold USB stick.
They both act the same.

Is this a known problem w/D1X & D2X?
Anyone run into this and solved it?

BTW, I'm using "Mandrake Linux 10".

Slight correction.
The joystick now works in DX1 also.
So, it's only DX2 that I'm still having problems with.

Suggestions anyone...? Keep 'em clean ;-)
