First you need kernel support for the device - the hardware HOWTO has location of the patches for the kernel joystick drivers. Then, I'd suggest checking out the XInput package - I don't use any XInput devices myself, but it sounds like it might be able to do what you want. An altavista search on "linux joystick" can be very informative. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
