"Guitar Praise" game guitar

[doorknob60]

Well, I got a game called guitar praise (its a GH clone). It's based on OpenGL, and the program itself seems to work flawlessly in Wine, but the guitar however, does not. It's wireless. When I plug it in, dmesg identifies it as GUITAR PRAISE, and it shows up in programs like jscalibrator and jstest, showing all the axis and buttons. The problem is, even though it detects everything that it should, it doesn't detect any movment or button pressing at all. As soon as Linux starts liking the guitar, it should also work with the game, because the game menu says "One guitar found, press green fret to continue" It's not some proprietary device like I feared it would be, but it just doesn't quite work. (I'll try a rock band guitar as soon as I can borrow one and see if it works too ) Any ideas? Unfortunately, this seems to be happening in both Kubuntu and Debian, (didn't test on my Arch box yet).

PS: Don't move this to the Wine forum, it's either a driver or configuration issue, not a problem with Wine. I put this in the hardware forum because it seems fitting, but move it if it would be better somewhere else.

Bump (already gotten two replies in Arch forums (not helpful though unfortunately), you guys can do better, we got way more users even!)

Being the only guitar praise on search results, I have interest playing this on linux as well. I bought it for my nephew and I built him a linux gaming rig about a year ago.
