Hi!
Have bought a gamepad for my son - he plays supertuxkart (USB, "Black
Warrior Patriot Vibration Gamepad"), attached, added
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "joy1"
Driver "joystick"
EndSection
to xorg.conf, restarted X (Gnome), and ... what?
I guess it depends on the version of X.Org. With 1.5.x, you don't need
an xorg.conf entry. You just plug it in and it works. The kernel must
of course have joystick support.
Aha... Thanks - have looked at the kernel config - have not selected any
device in the "Joysticks/Gamepads" (tte list is below). Must I select all the
modules with a hope X will be smart enough to load a needed module? Or - which
one is appropriate at my case?
xorg-server 1.5.3-r5 is in use.
[snipped list]
No, those are for old non-USB joysticks. You need to make sure that
these are enabled:
Input device support --> <*> Joystick interface
Input device support --> <*> Event interface
HID Devices --> <*> USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
