Good stuff applicable to any version of SuSE/openSUSE, today I 
successfully built and installed it on openSUSE 10.2Alpha4. The only 
problem that still persists and it's a linux-usb problem of longstanding 
that the developers never got back to me on, is that the buttons and 
controls of the CH Yoke and Pedals won't work after a reboot, they have 
to be removed and replugged, then they work fine. Strange that all other 
devices, webcam, digital camera, printer, card reader, USB HD and 
scanner don't need such intervention - this came on after the change of 
the hid input layer back in 2.6.1x.
Regards
Sid.
