I understand Joystick Calibration is disabled in the current Linux Build. I tried to use a Bluetooth PS3 Joystick, which works as far as the buttons are concerned, but the sticks don't seem to have any detected range. That is, moving them does something, but it is so small the ship doesn't move. I know the sticks do something cause if i decelerate using a button and waggle the throttle stick the throttle jumps up to 50%.

Are there options for the config file to set the range and deadzone? I don't mind doing it manually, but I can't work out the options.

have you tried running jscal before starting the game? I have to do that to get the full range with my stick.

er, did you remember to turn mouselook off as well?

There are config settings for deadzone and range, but they are arcane and nobody seems to think they work.

Hmm. I just looked at the code. This is the code:

void LinuxJS2::Calibrate(gidevice *dev)
{
    printf("NI\n");
}

So.. yeah, that's something we should fix.

Perhaps we could get some dev time scheduled for fixing this month?
