Xbox dance pad support in Linux Kernel

I submitted a fix to the linux kernel guys to get XBOX dance pads working in the linux kernel, and it was accepted into the linux-mm branch. This fix should be in the mainstream upcoming 2.6.19 kernel. This fixes a typical DDR pad issue, with linux reporting the D-PAD as axes instead of buttons, making jumps impossble. This fix will make Stepmania work out of the box with XBOX DDR pads under Linux.

To make this fix even better, I need some information from all of you with Xbox dance pads. The driver can identify dance pads based on the USB Vendor/Product ID’s. However, currently the only dance pad the driver knows about is the Red Octane Ignition pad. If anyone has any other XBOX DDR pads, PLEASE send me (binary1230 AHT Yahoo D0T com) your USB Vendor/Product ID’s so that I can make the driver recognize them. (Under linux, cat /proc/bus/usb, under windows, check Device Manager under control panel).
