Configuring the build with CFLAGS="-O2 -g -fanalyzer", we ran into some build errors, which we address in this commit. First off, GCC identified a false positive file descriptor leak in x52d_client.c, this instance is suppressed to avoid breaking the build. There was a bug in x52d_clock.c, where if the original timezone could not have a copy due to malloc failure, it would fail when resetting the TZ environment. This is fixed by ensuring the copy is valid. Finally, there was a potential NULL pointer dereference if the pinelog module messes up the log levels, and the lmap_get_string method ends up returning a NULL which was passed to the DATA macro. This is fixed by checking for NULL and handling it in case of failure. |

Saitek X52Pro joystick driver for Linux
This project adds a new driver for the Saitek/MadCatz X52 Pro flight control system. The X52 pro is a HOTAS (hand on throttle and stick) with 7 axes, 39 buttons, 1 hat and 1 thumbstick and a multi-function display which is programmable.
Currently, only Windows drivers are available from Saitek PLC, which led me to develop a new Linux driver which can program the MFD and the individual LEDs on the joystick. The standard usbhid driver is capable of reading the joystick, but it cannot control the MFD or LEDs.
Most of the extra functionality can be handled from userspace. See the individual folders for README information.
For data handling and privacy (e.g. GDPR/CCPA), see PRIVACY.md.
Note: This repository currently only provides commandline interfaces to control the MFD and LEDs. If you are not comfortable working in the commandline, then the gx52 project might be a better fit for your needs as it provides a graphical interface to control the MFD and LEDs.
