Title: Wrong joystick device on Linux?
Post by: cosmo on August 05, 2007, 10:59:30
Hello,

On Ubuntu Linux Controllers tryes to read the /dev/input/event* devices. They are only readable to root and when I make them readable for all then Controllers works well. But shouldn't Controllers read /dev/input/js* ? This devices are readable to all users.

Hi

You can't get the axis names and types from /dev/input/js*, only from event*.

You also can't have rumbler support on js devices, only event ones.

HTH
