I just bought an adaptor to use playstation joysticks on computer, through usb.
I'm getting it auto detected, but when I try to cat the device, or use it in a game it is like it is not detected properly, because it is as if all the buttons were pressed, or some, or I don't know. The fact it is that it works like hell.
I tried it in my knoppix, and worked fine.
can I change my joydev.ko for some other compatible with this hardware or something?
Electro thank you for trying to help!
I will do what you suggested.
I opened my xorg.conf file in FC6, and it doesn't say anything related to joysticks, why do I have to copy this file from Knoppix to my system?
Which way you mean I have to browse through /sys and find out what options the knoppix uses for the controller? how do I do it?
I think I don't have to recompile the kernel, but, I don't you, you may be right. I think not because if I plug an usb joystick it detects it, and works perfectly. Why this one don't ? because its adapter? mmm, I don't know :-S
I have activated gamecon and joydev in my kernel, which other module should I need?
