Under Solaris 9/Sparc USB joysticks are recognized as /dev/usb/hidN
(while N is a number starting from 0). Under Solaris 10/x86 this
should be the same.
OK : i have my four hubN and a one hid0 : the joystick (Thrustmaster
Topgun), seems...
- cfgadm see it as "usb-input", "connected" and "configured ok" without
any action from me. Currently i need to configure it manually, but this
time all OK automatically.
- I did not installed CSWjsdrv this time for the moment.
FlightGear uses the "plib" library to access the joysticks. This
Library has joystick support for Windows, MacOS, Linux and BSD. It does
NOT have joystick support for Solaris. :-(
This means you cannot "just" set up an USB or non-USB joystick under
Solaris when using FlightGear.
I am planning a program that uses the "properties" TCP access (e.g.
TCP port 5501) to pass the joystick data of an USB joystick to the
FlightGear flight simulator. The program will be written for
Solaris/Sparc but it should compile under Solaris/x86, too (you'll
need GCC).
Great ! I'm of course very interested...
Currently I use my Windows
What is it ? :-D
PC for FlightGear because my Solaris
machine is too slow (Ultra-5). So you'll have to wait until I have
my new Solaris machine. :-(
Im doing the same with my Fedora, works fine, but...
I know that any Solaris-team works actually on the DRI-capability for
the kernel, i hope for Solaris or Opensolaris 11.
The other solution is, as known, to use a Sun graphic card with own
OpenGL, for Sparc or, also, x86.
I'm also waiting for DRI-x86 or to get a entire (little) sparc-machine.
But waiting either one, or the other, my idea is to verify if, with full
power (i.e. using a joystick) and disabling most features (clouds,
etc...), its not however possible to run acceptably FlightGear on my
Sol10-x86 actual machine.
Thank's for your answer !
Cheers,
Sergio
