Mat problem

I got a USB mat from Level6 to use with pydance, and it looks like the
system is recognizing it as a joystick, but I can't get it to read any
events.

When I plug it in, dmesg says:

usbcore: registered new driver hiddev
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received
input: USB HID v1.00 Gamepad [Dance  Dance ] on usb-0000:00:11.1-1
usbcore: registered new driver hid
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver
usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 2
usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using address 3
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 4 choices

pydance says on startup:

1 joystick(s) found.
Joystick 0 initialized: 3 axes, 10 buttons.
Loaded input configuration.

But it registers everything I do when I dance as a miss.  

When I run jstest, I get:

root at tuba:/var/log# jstest --event /dev/js0
Joystick (Dance  Dance ) has 3 axes and 10 buttons. Driver version is 2.1.0.
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)

But nothing more happens when I step on the pad.

This is a Debian Sid system, but I installed it via knoppix-installer,
so the kernel and modules aren't exactly the ones that apt-get would
give you.  (I'd like to use the standard ones, but I have to rebuild
the kernel to include ext3 before I can do that.)

uname -a says:

Linux tuba 2.6.6 #2 SMP Fri May 14 20:38:30 CEST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux

Attached is the lsmod output.

What more do I need to do?
