I have two Thrustmaster T.16000M flight sticks, which are recognized by Steam, and the Thrustmaster T-Rudder pedals, which are not.

Linux recognizes them all, and I can see them in the configuration UIs, as well as with evdev-joystick --l

In /dev/input, js0, js1, and js2 are assigned to the pedals and both joysticks, respectively. But only the joysticks have events linked to them. The pedals have an event, but it isn't linked to js0.

In fact, the pedals originally registered in /dev/input/by-id as usb-Thrustmaster_T-Rudder_00000000000001A-event, and was only readable through evdev-joystick --l as root. I renamed it to usb-Thrustmaster_T-Rudder-event-joystick & evdev picks it up, but Steam still doesn't recognize it.
