joystick 2.4.7

I suspect it to be a permanent thing as far as permanent is.

I don't think it was an EMC thing but rather an Ubuntu update that came at the same time...

I must have been more confused than I thought then... hmmm was it something like expanded support for input?

Your right it was this commit by Seb, or at least he said so I think...
git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=emc2.git;a=com...69f5806255ed5fd309e9

teach linux_event.py about new input events

The Linux Input subsystem has gained some new events since linux_event.py
was written. This commit adds support for the new event types.

This patch is from Przemek Klosowski, thanks!

But I'll be dammed if I can find btn-trigger or btn-joystick in the commit... Some things just elude me.

Does one replace the other?

That looks like it might be an error.
I think you might be able to just edit the file and see if the names change (Python is interpreted). I would experiment with a totally random name first to see if it is acted on, then try keeping only one of those lines.

That is odd, I see one other button pair with the same hex number. And looking back at the original commit it is the same.
