Logitech Dual-Action gamepad

[Steve]

ok, here goes..

Running Ubuntu Hardy 64bit..

Ubuntu see's the gamepad correctly etc..

Game's under wine can see it, but thats it... i cant program the buttons, or use the buttons or the analog sticks....

Have no idea how to solve this...

Would really love some help on at least 1 of my threads... specifically this one..

Cheers

Which games? Any output in the terminal?

Find your joystick in output from 'lshal' and see which /dev/input/event* device it's attached to. Then test that with

Code: Select all

evtest /dev/input/event7

The game is - 18 wheels of steel convoy

results of lshal are below

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_ffffffff_ffffffff_noserial_logicaldev_input'
info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.mouse'} (string list)
info.category = 'input' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_ffffffff_ffffffff_noserial' (string)

input.device = '/dev/input/event6' (string)

and its /dev/input//event5

Please test it with

Code: Select all

evtest /dev/input/event7

[Steve]

bit puzzled now...

sudo evtest /dev/input/event6 works but as u see below doesnt.. with or without sudo

physics@physics:~$ sudo evtest /dev/input/event7
evtest: No such file or directory
physics@physics:~$ evtest /dev/input/event7
evtest: No such file or directory
physics@physics:~$

ok, well fixed my problem - i spose..

i did a

ls -la /dev/input

noticed event6was owned by root...

so i then did a

sudo chmod 755 /dev/input/event6

and the game can now use the control pad... but it needs to be calibrated..
