Arak Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I have installed a game called Doukutsu. What happens is if i set the menu to only use the keyboard, it works fine but if i try to use the game pad, the program crashes. So where, using the KDE menu, can i find the option to calibrate my game pad (or whatever options it may have)? Any advice about game pads in Linux? Thanks.

Greg2 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Have you installed the joystick package? It contains the jstest, jscal, and jsattach utilities for joystick kernel drivers. Depending on how your gamepad is connected, you may also want to read this: opensrc.org/Joystick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 USB gamepads/joysticks are generally as plug and play. The crash is probably an issue with the game, rather than how your joystick/gamepad is setup. Complain to where you got the game from.

Greg2 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 So where, using the KDE menu, can i find the option to calibrate my game pad (or whatever options it may have)? I was just checking something on my system and found a GUI for your gamepad/joystick. I didn't know about it before, as I've always used the cli with jscal. Go to System > Configuration > Control Center > Peripherals > Joystick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
