Yeah, I've read about joy2key, but I did not know where to get it.
I was asking about quake2, not quake.. but thats not a problem, playing
quake2 multiplayer with a joystick is instant death. I just wanted to try
out the drivers. Quake2 does have negligible joystick support, but I think
it's only cosmetic. Such as an initialisation command, an option "Use
Joystick" but there is no input from it at all. I even linked /dev/js0 to
as many different joy* devices that I could think of. Anyway, I have been
pointed to "sabre", a flight sim.
