The devices
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 068e:00ff CH Products, Inc. Flight Sim Yoke
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 068e:00f2 CH Products, Inc. Flight Sim Pedals
on my machine get recognized but they don't work. cat'ting the
relevant /dev/input/js* devices reports some initial data,
but no axis or button input on any of them produces any change.
flightgear/fgjs/js_demo don't show any input either.

Following the tip at 
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=587
by Alex Perry, I made the following patch that works perfectly
on my system. A better approach would probably be a configure
option if somebody does need that extra SET_IDLE call.

I'm not x-posting to lkml since 2.6.8 is an ancient source (2.6.14
exists today), but since we only have 2.6.8 in debian archive
as of today, I want it available for other Debian users that
might want to solve the same problem.
