I'm trying to get a joystick to work but my device is having problems seeing it. I will plug in the joystick, it will show up under /dev/input/ but it will disappear after a few seconds, then reappear, and repeat. Also, I installed the joystick package but js0 never shows up.
When it does show up this is the info I get:
Bus 001 Device 079: ID 05e3:0610 Genesys Logic, Inc. 4-port hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 064: ID 068e:0105 CH Products, Inc.
(This 064 number listed in the last device on this list increments over time since it keeps disconnecting over and over)

The piece of hardware I'm running this on is a ZedBoard with a 3.12.0-xillinux-1.3 kernel
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
I've tried this with a USB hub to ensure this isn't a power issue.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know! Thank you.
