I just tried another controller I have (an old wired USB AXIS pad, I think Gravis makes it?) and I can reproduce the same results. I even reinstalled the -evdev and -joystick packages through Synaptic and commented out:
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "Configured Joystick" InputDevice "Configured Joystick 2" and set: Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" EndSection to "True". After doing that and restarting X, the joystick could control the cursor but it did not show up in jscalibrator. Then I installed the evdev patch found on this page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/284951 , the one with the Albert Damen patch. After restarting X, the joystick could NOT control the cursor and everything worked perfectly in jscalibrator. I still could not set any controls with the directional pad in any emulators. So, it's not controller specific. I still don't understand why I am unable to use the directional pad in any games. Xorg.0.log says: (II) config/hal: Adding input device STD AxisPad (**) STD AxisPad: always reports core events (**) STD AxisPad: Device: "/dev/input/event4" (II) STD AxisPad: Found x and y absolute axes (WW) STD AxisPad: Don't know how to use device (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" (EE) PreInit returned NULL for "STD AxisPad" (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed For the other two joysticks Xorg.0.log does not report this. But all three joysticks work in jscalibrator. -- Joystick detected as mouse, crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
