GC controller not detected on debian 11/testing

[appzer0]

Hello and thanks for this great piece of hardware I've been using for some years.

Though I cannot get it to work on Debian 11.

udev rules have been copied, udev restarted, 'make' ran OK.

Looking at your udev rules, it seems IDs don't match with kernel-detected IDs.Useful info is in emphasis below: :

Hello,

Based on the vendor ID (1781) you appear to be using a very old V1 or V2 adapter. The firmware of those adapters is not update-able and has no configurable features. So really, even if the adapter were listed, the tool could do nothing more than listing it.

At some point I can confirm that at least the GUI version of the tool would list those old adapters, but it was only to display that those were not updateable and not configurable. I'm not sure if the command-line tool ever had this feature. Could you confirm if this feature still works in the GUI? (I don't have an old adapter around to test right away, sorry)

Otherwise does the adapter work normally? I.e. Can you see inputs using jstest on /dev/input/js0 ?

Hi and thanks for your reply,

the jstest-gtk and jstest both react perfectly to events from the GC controller.

I bought the adapter a long time ago indeed. I'm going to check is I am able to map events from the controller. Thanks again.
