usb joystick / mouse freezes movement

Aug 19, 2008 vskye link
Ok, here's a odd one. I recently received a logitech attack 3 joystick. Plugged it in, set it up in VO and it works fine, kinda. What happens is that if I turbo with the joystick button I can't move around looking at anything. (or the mouse for that matter) Once I let go of the turbo key, I can change course or just look around. Just the mouse / keyboard works fine though. Another pointer might be that if I boot up the laptop with both the mouse and joystick plugged in, (both usb btw) it will freeze the mouse at the kdm login screen. I'm running Kubuntu 64-bit 8.04 and VO 64-bit current. Any ideas? Btw, mouse look was off and I tried various key bindings. Kinda figure this is a OS issue. Thanks.
