Full Version: Generic PS3 controller issue
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hi folks

I have this weird issue with a PS3 generic controller.
When using the controller on LL desktop environment if I press left trigger the mouse pointer goes to the up and stays there like pressing up on the left analog and when I press right trigger it goes left and stays there like I'm pressing left.
I have to disconnect from USB and reconnect.
I'm also using a mouse but I tried with only the controller connected and the same happens.
I have installed jstest in an attempt to remap buttons to no success.

Is there an app in which I can remap buttons and assign actions?
Like open the Menu close windows or right mouse click menu?
I ask this because I would like to control LL laid back on my chair Smile

Thank you
Hello JesusLinux,

this thread has link to driver and configuration man page.

I remember Jerry in the release info of 3.4 writing there has been added Joystick support, I am unfamiliar with it as I don't game so not have any stuff to try out using it.
Tried remaping those buttons using qjoypad and it does not work...
Assigned left trigger to pageup and right trigger to pagedown keys, created the layout profile and nothing happened.
Have you tried the thread area for Xorg configuration linked to above ?
I tried:

Code:
sudo apt-get xserver-xorg-input-joystick

I get this message:
E: Invalid operation xserver-xorg-input-joystick

The command is wrong for a start. Secondly, we already supply that package.
