I think danellisuk's approach is interesting. I wonder if there is any "null" key they could be redirected to? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/30378 Title:

I wrote a program called joystickwake to work around this problem until display servers learn that joysticks are input devices. If you happen to be running Ubuntu Trusty, you can install it from my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~foresto/+archive/ubuntu/toys -- You received this bug notification

Agree whole heartedly with Stephan Sokolow. We need a way to have the X server handle the joystick without having it send the mapped events to other applications. Was there any response from upstream? For now, here is how you can enable the joystick within the X server:- sudo apt-get install

@10: It shouldn't. Expecting every game, past present and future (including closed-source ones where the developers bundled a copy of everything except libc and libGL to avoid having to maintain them) to special-case joysticks on Linux is insanity. This disagreement over approach reminds me of a

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, and each of the Steam for Linux games I've played that support gamepads don't seem to inhibit the screensaver themselves. I don't know if it's realistic to expect them to all patch to deal with this themselves, and I'm not sure the responsibility should be on them. -- You
