6th Place in Google Search for “Install usb Joystick in Ubuntu”
UDPATE to Ubuntu Logitech Dual Action USB Gamepad install
WOW!!!
I never thought that i would write something that a. people actually searched for, and b. that would show up on a first page search result.
I love this wordpress software.
“install usb joystick in ubuntu” who knew?
I only wrote it at as reference for myself, and possibly if others needed such information they could have it too.
[ UPDATE ]
I have done some more searching on getting the gamepad working with gsnes9x gui mode.
I had to change the /etc/snes9x/snes9x.conf file.
Change the mappings for the JoyDev and you are all set.
Joydev1 = (null)
change it to
Joydev1 = /dev/input/js0 # or what ever your device is.
And you are off to the races.
Have fun gaming.
