First the background info:
I've got my computer hooked up to my TV, but they're in different
rooms. I've got an lpt (db25) extention cord to use my SNES hack to
play xmame. Getting around in front ends isn't really a problem, but
sometimes I'd like to be able to move windows or play with my mp3s
from there without having to go into the other room.
I know XInput supports the joystick as a control device, and Xmame can
also use the Xinput device (saw it in the makefile..) But I haven't
been able to find any info to setup they joystick as a device in
X4.x.x. I got this much info:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "joystick"
Driver "inputdriver" #can't find the drivername to use
Option "Device" "/dev/input/js0"
EndSection
and to add the following line to the Server layout section:
InputDevice "joystick" "SendCoreEvents"
I've scoured the Xfree86.org site for this info with no luck on
finding the driver name or options to use for it. Google pulls up some
stuff but for X3.x.x which isn't really the same.
Does anyone know if Xinput "holds" the device (i.e. I have to use the
Xinput method to use the joystick in other applications/games instead
of the regular joystick input method) or does it "release" it after a
while?
TIA,
Ste
