For some reason, my gamepad stopped working. It's detected when I plug it into the USB port, but it's not recognized as an input device.

Notice it's not being added as an input device.

I have joydev and usbhid compiled into the kernel. This gamepad used to work, but it seemed to randomly stop working and I don't know what the problem is.

Does the gamepad work with another OS? another computer? – Kamil Maciorowski – 2016-05-15T20:43:32.547
Yes, it works under Windows 8 on the same computer. – user489481 – 2016-05-15T22:53:10.810
