I'm using a N52 at home for UT2004. Linux (or RH9, at least) just sees it as a keyboard. I can't re-program its keys, but most of the default maps work well with FPS games. The others I can fix by changing the game's keymappings. There is one button that I can't use because it maps to CapsLock which UT2004 won't let me map. Luckily, it's not one of the primary controls or the D-pad. With all those buttons, having one nonfunctional is no big deal. The N50 is a very different beast and needs a driver. One can be found at: http://www.jimbomania.com/nostromo.html but I have no experience with it. On a side note, any particular UT2004 server being frequented by TriLug players? --Brian -- Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear. --Thomas Jefferson, Aug. 10, 1787 Brian Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.eviloverlord.net -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
