problem with usb playstation adaptor


Hi everyone.

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?

Please give me a hand!!

thank you

PS: I'm using Fedora 6

Try copying the xorg.conf or XF86Config from Knoppix. In Knoppix browse through /sys and find out what options that it uses for the controller.

Go to http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/...adaptor_en.php for more information.

I think you may have to recompile the kernel.

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?

I'm a newbie, please have some mercy.

Thank you very much.
