Re: [Flightgear-users] Re: Joystick detection help
There's another solution, if you want the module loaded when some application asks for it, you just have to add a few lines to /etc/modprobe.conf (taken from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/input/joystick.txt): alias tty-ldisc-2 serport alias char-major-13 input above input joydev ns558 analog options analog map=gamepad,none,2btn That's just an example, in your case, you might not want the options line, or the ns558 modules. It can be adapted to your needs. The serport module is only necessary for serial port joysticks. the char-major-13 line refers to the joystick device, major number 13 (type ls -l /dev/input/js0). After the input module has been loaded, the line above tells the system to load other modules as well, maybe you only need analog... -- Jorge Van Hemelryck ___ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

The frame rate for glxgears is 225 fps with rather low CPU usage. What I was told is that slow framerate on ATI cards in Linux is a driver issue. About the only thing people like you and I can do is wait for a fix from the DRI developers. My ATI 9100 IGP gets 2500 frames in 5 sec / 518 FPS. That's with the Linux Xorg drivers. A friend of mine who has an ATI Mobility M9 in his machine gets over 6000 frames in 5 sec (over 1200fps) using the Linux ATI proprietary drivers. On my laptop, I have an ATI Radeon Mobility M9 as well, I'm using the Xorg drivers (6.7.0) and a kernel 2.4.22, and I get around 2160 fps with glxgears.

Looks like you saved your system.fgfsrc file in RTF format. If you try
and open it with notepad, you'll see why FlightGear had a problem. You
can either go to the text editor you used and save the file in plain
text format, or copy and paste the text itself into notepad.
After that, maybe we'll see what happens with your joystick...
Actually, the best way to define joystick bindings is now through XML
configuration files (joysticks.xml has a list of joystick names, and
points to the most appropriate file for the name returned by the
driver). You will probably want to use this option as well in your
system.fgfsrc file:
--log-level=info
so that you can actually see what is happening.

How would he fix the problem then? Ok, I checked how fgrun could add those lines to the .fgfsrc (or system.fgfsrc), and how to remove them. Actually, this user probably explored all the tabs and menus and advanced options in fgrun. If you click on Advanced..., then select the Properties dialog, and click on New without entering anything in the Property field, the line --prop: is appended to .fgfsrc. The same thing happens in the Debugging dialog, with --trace-read= and --trace-write=. The (user) fix is to select all these empty lines (the first line in each empty list: Properties, Trace-Read Properties, Trace-Write Properties), and each time click on the appropriate Delete Button. Another solution might be to simply delete the .fltk/flightgear.org/fgrun.prefs file, or one of the directories above altogether. I just thought that the first solution would be cleaner and would allow to retain all the other settings. Feel free to forward this answer to the forum. I was too lazy to try and register tonight on AVSIM. If you give me some time, I might even come up with a fix in fgrun.

Well, it works. And I particularly like it. It's sturdy, and I like the way it feels. Then again, I've had mostly Thrustmaster joysticks lately... The only drawback I can see is that you can't use at the same time joystick twisting and the two-button rudder control on the throttle. It's either one or the other.
