I have the Steam retail version of X3, Terran conflict and the latest release.

Last week I successfully connected my USB Logitech Rumble pad 2 and Saitek evo
Force and played X3 with both those controllers.

Since then due to issues caused by other games I had created a new Steam
install with winetricks, did all the native dll stuff to get the movies and
sounds going and X3 runs but now it won't detect any game controllers.

if I run dmesg in a terminal it sees both devices in linux but now the dropdown
box is empty in the X3 loader.

What could I possibly have had installed in the old prefix that I need to
install now so that the controllers can be used again?
