[SOLVED] Joystick Axis not working

[Spoony]

My Joystick, a Logitech Extreme 3D, works natively in Linux. It's mapped to /dev/input/js0

All the buttons on the joystick work in wine, but the Joystick's Axis', HAT switch and throttle do not work in wine. Specifically, I'm trying to play Xwing Alliance. I'm running Gentoo Linux, 2.6.25.4 kernel, wine 1.0 rc3

Any help getting my joystick's axis', hat switch, and throttle working would be great. I've only just started using wine...and I don't know a lot about this crazy windows registry thing. So please, be patient with me and my wine newbie-ness

My DirectInput regkey looks like this:
"Logitech Logitech Extreme 3D" "X,Y,Rz,Throttle,Hat0X,Hat0Y"

The (seemingly useful parts of) WINEDEBUG gives me the following info:

I just noticed, that although I get full range of my joystick's axis' in jscalibrator....I barely get any movement in a windows joystick tester, called joytester.exe.

Looking through some other threads on joysticks, you can't calibrate your joystick in wine. Correct? I'm to assume that it carries over the calibration from linux?

[Spoony]

Okay....
It seems that jscalibrator is a piece of crap.

using:

jscal -c /dev/input/js0

worked.

I spent all day trying to figure this out....and I figure it out as soon as I post in a forum asking for help.

At the least, I'm sure this will help someone later on.

My DirectInput regkey looks like this:
"Logitech Logitech Extreme 3D" "X,Y,Rz,Throttle,Hat0X,Hat0Y"

This is wrong and that's what Wine tells you. There is no "Throttle", "Hat0X" or "Hat0Y" it should be

Code: Select all

"Logitech Logitech Extreme 3D"="X,Y,Rz,Slider1,Hat0,Hat0"
