Introduction
With kjoy you can easily test and calibrate the joysticks of your Linux
BOX.
Joystick driver that come with kjoy
This joystick driver is derived from the 0.8 version plus the "4 buttons
patch" ( thanks to Craig Lamparter <craiger@hemna.rose.hp.com>
) and a little modify to not reset joystick params at every device open.
Also include a small patch to work properly on all situations. You can
found the full source code and the compiled module (for kernel 2.0.33)
in the joy_drv directory.
Installations
For a quick installation type the following at your command prompt:
#./configure
#make
#make install
If there aren't any errors after restart kpanel or KDE you must see
the "Joystick" entry in the "Kpanel\Settings\Input Devices\" folder.
To uninstall kjoy simply type:
#make uninstall
Notes
-
Whit the "Load driver" button kjoy will try to "insmod" the $KDEDIR/share/apps/kjoy/drv/joystick.o
module
-
The insmod path can be modify in the kjoyrc file
-
Kjoy was tested only on linux kernel 2.0.33 with modified joystick driver
0.8x that come with it
-
The latest version of kjoy can be found on http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/2964/linux.html
