[SOLVED] Logitech Dual Action drivers on Deb 'Lenny'

captkrill · 01-01-2010, 12:38 AM

Is anything available?

All of my 'googling' powers have exhausted themselves...

Perhaps you could tell us exactly what sort of device a "Logitech Dual Action" is. Ie, what does "lspci" report it as being.

Cheers,

Evo2.

It doesnt look like it is recognized. But it is getting power to it as the lights flash on the controller. Need something to play CoV with on Linux and this was what I had tucked away in my periphs box.

Hmm, I have no experience with this type of thing.

Is this a USB device? If so, please do:

Code:

aptitude install lsusb
lsusb

And post the output of lsusb

EDIT: I just did a bit of reading and it seems you need the joydev module:

Code:

modprobe joydev

Cheers,

Evo2.

cool, seems the device is at least seen.

I did a little more reading and it seems that you may need to make sure the following package is installed: xserver-xorg-input-joystick

Cheers,

Evo2.

while using mame i am able to configure the gamepad with the gamepad...still trying to find the correct buttons and remember which one i hotkeyed to 'start'. But it seems I have gotten it working now. Still waiting for TF2 to download and install to test it out.
