I have a Logitech Chillstream controller for the pc, which is essentially a xbox360 controller.

There are two buttons that are called 'bumper buttons', which show up at the controls setup, but they can not be used as buttons, only as throttle or pitch, etc. However, this problem only exists on Linux.

I tried the controller at a friend's PC, on VO on Windows. On Windows, I could assign these buttons to rolling cw and ccw in VO.

Is there any way I could get VO to do this on Linux too?

Thanks

Sorry, the only thing I can help you with is bumping this thread so people who CAN help might notice it. :/

I don't quite understand the problem. I gather those buttons are analog, right? Seeing how you can bind throttle to them.
If so binding roll would be no problem as it's done in the same place.
So is roll not showing up at all as an option?

Well, I just found out how to make this working..
Yes, the buttons are analog, but they also go back to their original position when I let them go. This means that the center position of those buttons is in fact 0, as is the minimum position.
When I bound roll to them, I kept on rolling like crazy..

I figured out how to make these buttons work:
jscal -c /dev/input/js0

and for the bumper buttons, let 0 be minimum and center, and they work very well.. :)
