Public bug reported:
Some games look for game controllers in /dev/ instead of /dev/input/.
An easy fix can be found at..
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=293852
>From the thread..
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/60-symlinks.rules
Place the following at the bottom of the file..
# Create Joystick /dev/js0, /dev/js1, etc using symlink
#(links /dev/input/jsX to /dev/jsX)
KERNEL=="js[0-9]*", SYMLINK+="%k"
save the file and exit.
On reboot the joystick can be found by the programs looking for /dev/js0
as well as /dev/input/js0
Can't this fix be in Ubuntu straight from an install? It would save new
users a lot of head scratching :)
