Friendly offers to help are always appreciated. I have visited the link you provided several times in the past few days but the information provided there has not helped. I keep getting the following lines in my Xorg.0.log: [ 34.118] (EE) PreInit returned 11 for "Thrustmaster" [ 34.118] (II) UnloadModule: "joystick" As for the settings in the xorg.conf example, I have no idea where the axis and button values came from. It would be great if there was a joystick calibration program that could be run to provide that information. As a last chance effort, I'll try my old logitech joystick today to see if the flightgear program js_demo will work on it... but I have no idea what values to insert into xorg.conf for that joystick either. Joystick calibration appears to be my main area of concern... even more that not being able to play amazon instant videos. Again, thanks for your help. Mike
