Joystick


I got a Dexxa 3 axis 4 button joystick. It's connected to the gameport on my SBLive! 5.1 card.
I wanna install it so I can use it when playing Vice City on Cedega.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks a lot in advance.
(My Distro=FC3. Desktop/windowmanager/displaymanager: KDE. Cedega version: 4.2 ForSteam. Vice City 1.0, the newest nVIDIA graphics drivers)

Cedega configuration options are located in the '.transgaming' directory found in your home directory. The main configuration file is '.transgaming/config'. This is an ASCII text file. The first time you run Cedega, the '.transgaming' directory will be automatically created for you, in a default preconfigured state. The default preconfigured state is copied from the /usr/lib/transgaming_cedega/.transgaming directory.

To edit the Cedega configuration settings open '~/.transgaming/config' in your favorite text editor.

in there is a joystick Section

This section contains the configuration for how joysticks should be treated under Cedega.

"Logitech Inc. WingMan RumblePad" = "X,Y,slider,Z,RZ,hat,none"

Controls the configuration of the function of joystick axes. The joystick name and axis functions can be determined with the program 'jstest'. The available axis types are: "none", "X", "Y", "Z", "RX", "RY", "RZ", "slider", "hat", "POV", and "ball" "hat" and "POV" are synonymous. Hats use two axes. The name on the left should correspond to that reported by the actual joystick installed.

I detached the joystick a week ago. I learned to play without it. But thanks for posting that. Maybe it'll help someone else
