Well, your gamepad may not be useless in all cases (for instance, for fullscreen games that capture the mouse pointer and do not react to double-clicks).
Here happens with my both controllers : Speedlink 360 style and Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Analog. Anyway, the problem seems to be that X is not aware of joysticks and just sees pointing devices. If this cannot work automagically as of yet, maybe there is a way to force a specific device not to be used as a pointing device ? (as a custom FDI is not required anymore for my device, I don't know how to specify it now -- and anyway, an easy GUI would be preferable ;-) Doesn't sound like an easy issue to iron out... -- USB Gamepad detected as mouse (Speedlink 360 style) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/418470 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
