Controller no longer working on Ubuntu 12.04/64bit

[PPSSPPaco]

Hello,

After the auto update from Noobslabs to version 0.9.8-1028 the USB gamepad I've been using since v 0.9.1 has stopped working no matter what I do. The emulator won't even recognize it if I try to refresh the controller button mapping.

Launching previous versions of PPSSPP (including the last one I was using, 0.9.8-142) brings back my gamepad.

I have checked that the current 0.9.8-1028 from karen/angelXwind also has this problem, so something bad happened to Linux gamepad support in between 0.9.8-142 and 0.9.8-1028.

The gamepad is an older Logitech Dual Action controller. No errors are being noted in /var/log/kern.log when launching PPSSPP (the non-controller-working version) and 'lsusb' doesn't report anything unusual for the gamepad.

Please let me know if there is any other information I could provide to help figure out what the issue may be. Thanks!
