I have a gravis gamepad pro, and while Ubuntu recognizes the input device it's treated as another mouse control instead of an actual joystick.
Anyways to fix this? I looked around under system and didn't see anything that would let me maybe fix this.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 amd64, and I'm at a loss on where to go from here.
I just recently did a clean install of 10.10. My controller works fine for games no issues there. I haven't done any sort of configuring in order to make my Logitech cordless rubmble pad 2 controller work as a mouse yet it is. It just started this morning when I booted up. I have found many threads on how to make your controller/joystick work as a mouse. But I have yet to find one on how to get it to quit doing so. Or at least how to toggle it on and off which would be better in my case as Ive found in the past 30 min that I like scrolling with the analog stick much better than pgup/dn or the mouse wheel. The main issue is that I have a 4/yo here that plays games all the time and he keeps opening random things when he plays. I also am looking into how to get virtual box to let windows xp detect my controller but I will post that later after I have done more research if I can't figure it out.

I have no idea as to why this is but it is quite annoying. I searched the menu and have yet to find the ability to disable using the joystick as a mouse function.

When I switch the device on, the system boots and Xorg comes up, I can see X cursor on the system. When I start sending mouse move events from the application, the cursor do not move. If I attach mouse to the device and then move the mouse, from this point onwards the mouse events get detected from the simulation application. I have checked the dmesg log as follows

I want to get a serial mouse (PS/2 with adapter) to work on a Dell C400 (so I can use the one USB port for wireless). I enabled the serial port in the BIOS, but the mouse didn't work.

My USB stick also isn't detected nor auto mounted, what is strange is they both seem to work fine when i plug them to the USB/ESATA port. i don't know what to do to automount my USB stick, or the mouse.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running Debian Squeeze on an HP Pavilion dv6-6040ca. The touchpad featured is relatively new, which is likely the root of my problem. The touchpad with its winblows driver features a backlight, two mouse buttons (buttons,not dedicated touchpad space), and an 'on/off' switch/zone in the top left of the touchpad. The touchpad zone works well for pointing, but no gesture support. The touchpad's tap/click feature works way too well, which is very frustrating. The touchpad is detected as a mouse, so there is no option in System->Preferences->Mouse for a touchpad. Both mouse buttons function as expected. The 'on/off' switch/zone does not function, nor does the backlight.
The only feature I really need is the ability to turn off the tap/click feature, as it makes typing a nightmare. It's gotten to the point where I wrote a shell script to toggle the loading/unloading of my psmouse module (which isn't a bad solution, but I don't want my general account having access to modprobe).
Here are some details:
/proc/bus/input/devices
cat /proc/bus/input/devices

N: Name="Macintosh mouse button emulation"

I'm using the proprietary ATI driver (couldn't do 3D with the open driver), and I'm using a proprietary wireless module for my RaLink wireless adapter.

Wondering if USB devices such as a wireless mouse suppose to automatically be detected by F11. I tried plugging my wireless mouse in to my F11 laptop and its not working..I'm I suppose to do something to get it to recongize it? Do I have to but my laptop with the mouse receiver plugged in for Linux to recongize the device.is Linux capable of true plug n' play?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an old Logitech Wingman analog joystick connected to a game port on a Creative sound card. At this point I've got the system to see the joystck and was able to run jscal. I was also able to run jstest. I was able to see positive & negative numbers moving the joystick in four directions. However, when I try 2 different MAME games or Open Arena there is no right direction. Pushing the joystick right only stops it from going left.. Up and down movement seems to be OK.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt is possible to use the sixaxis as a joystick. But how?
For a year and a half I've been trying to get sixaxis working on ubuntu, and there appear to be even less options on debian.
While this page suggests there is kernel support, usbmon doesn't show any packages coming down the line at all (But lsusb does recognize the device)
So how do I get debian to recognize the sixaxis?
I have the Joystick driver installed and it works in the FlightGear app. I need to calibrate it if possible. I found jsattach and jscal. I know it works like a Logitech Warrier. I don't know the device nomenclature. I connects to a USB port so I suspect it is a /dev/usbmon X with X = o thru 7. I don't know how to identify it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCurrently I have 5 HID's I would like to use on the system at any given time. However, I have the problem of them using different device paths depending on what order I plug them in... Which wreaks havoc on qjoypad and also my music software which looks for a specific device number, which may or may not be the same as it was last time.
For example, I have 2 rock band drum controllers which I use to send MIDI signals. I need them always assigned to the same device path, so that I don't have to change the settings in my music software every time I run it, to make sure it's looking at the right controller
Or if I am going to play games with a gamepad, but I also have the drums hooked up, the gamepad may be assigned to /dev/input/js2, so I create my qjoypad profile.... Let's say the next day I reboot with the drums not plugged in, the gamepad is now /dev/input/js0, and the qjoypad profile won't work because it is looking for that gamepad at /dev/input/js2... So I would either have to create a new profile, or hook the drums back up in the same order ... Or something
It's just a mess...
Is there any way to tell Ubuntu to say "/dev/input/js0 is always Playstation gamepad", "/dev/input/js1 is always drum pad 1", etc.?
Or some way to do away with /dev/input scheme altogether and somehow link directly to the name of the device?
USB joystick with Linux only works when I disconnected and reconnected its. I have a problem that it can easy, but I didn't find a solution yet. When I turn on my computer using a Debian or Ubuntu and tried to use the joystick the commands of joystick doesn't pass to SO. Once I disconnect and reconnect the joystick on USB port it pass to work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using a "HuiJia USB Gamepad" to connect a standard N64 controller to my computer over USB. I'm doing this so that I can play games using mupen64plus, which uses the SDL to get input. My problem has to do with the way the adapter deals with C button events. Apparently, the u/d and l/r C buttons are treated by the adapter as joystick axes, so joystick events are generated by using them. But, for some reason, these events aren't recognized by SDL.
It gets stranger - if I cat the output of /dev/input/event5, the event gets printed when a C button is pressed. Furthermore, when I configure SDL to use the /dev/input/event* devices rather than /dev/input/js0, the C buttons are recognized! (Though, this leads to a situation where the joystick can't be calibrated... go figure). So, I can either have a correctly calibrated joystick with no C buttons or a miscalibrated joystick with working C buttons. Does anyone have any idea what I can do about this situation? The best outcome would be to force the C button joystick events to appear when using /dev/input/js0. Device as it appears in the output of lsusb:

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my HP Pavilion a320n computer with a ps2 mouse and the mouse pointer points with the bottom of the mouse and not the upper tip of the point. It does the same thing with Ubuntu 10.04.1. In Windows 7 and XP the mouse is normal. I don't know how I could adjust it or is this just a bug in the OS?
