GP-Wiz40 with linux?

<< < (2/2)

migraineman:
SUCCESS!  After several weeks of beating my head against the SDL wall, I decided to approach from a different angle.  I added the environment variable "SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0" to /etc/environment.  After a reboot, the variable appeared in the env list (it wouldn't stay persistent when manually added.)  I calibrated the GPWiz40 using "jscal -c /dev/input/js0".  MAME now uses the calibrated joystck values through SDL. 

I'm not out of the woods yet, but I'm past a major tech hurdle.  I need to cal four joysticks, make sure the calibrations are persistent, and make sure the usb device assignments are consistent through power cycling.

I'd love to hear what you find out about the device assignments being persistent through a reboot.

Also, do they stay consistent as you add and remove devices?

Windows is notorious about not handling that situation very well. That's why I wrote ControllerRemap. I'm just curious if Linux handles things better.
