Hi
Here's my setup:
-Asus motherboard (Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe)
-Terratec tuner (Cinergy 600 TV w/saa7134)
-Gainward GeForce FX 5200
-ATI Remote Wonder
-Logitech Dual Action Joypad (on /dev/js0)
-Saitek P880 USB joypad (on /dev/js1)
-Logitech MediaPlay USB mouse
-Creative USB Desktop Wireless 6000 (Mouse&Keyb)
I installed KnoppMyth R5C7.
After successful setup I followed two instructionsset on how to compile the subversion source of MythTV:
KnoppmythWiki/CompileCVS_MythTV
And:
svn.myth
Steps I did (I always 'get' and compile as root, don't like to mess around with different users during the process, bad of me?):
Code:
$ su root
$ mkdir ~mythtv/mythtvsrc
$ cd ~mythtv/mythtvsrc
$ svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv
$ svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythplugins
$ svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/myththemes
$ /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop
$ cd mythtv
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
$ qmake mythtv.pro
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../mythplugins
$ export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
$ qmake mythplugins.pro
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../myththemes
$ export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
$ qmake myththemes.pro
$ make
$ make install
$ mkdir ~mythtv/mythtvsrc
$ cd ~mythtv/mythtvsrc
$ svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv
$ svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythplugins
$ svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/myththemes
$ /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop
$ cd mythtv
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
$ qmake mythtv.pro
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../mythplugins
$ export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
$ qmake mythplugins.pro
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../myththemes
$ export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
$ qmake myththemes.pro
$ make
$ make install
So, after this I had a perfectly good working version of the subervsion MythTV source.
But I wanted more, I also want the joystick to work, so I did the following:
KnoppMythWiki/JoystickMenuNavigationHowTo:
Code:
$ su mythtv
$ vi /home/mythtv/.mythtv/joystickmenurc
$ vi /home/mythtv/.mythtv/joystickmenurc
Because (it says in the wiki to do it as root, but the file belongs to mythtv):
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 840 Jul 11 22:53 joystickmenurc
The content:
Code:
devicename /dev/input/js0
button 2 Escape
button 0 I
button 3 P
button 1 Enter
axis 0 -32767 -15000 Left
axis 0 15000 32767 Right
axis 1 -32767 -15000 Up
axis 1 15000 32767 Down
button 2 Escape
button 0 I
button 3 P
button 1 Enter
axis 0 -32767 -15000 Left
axis 0 15000 32767 Right
axis 1 -32767 -15000 Up
axis 1 15000 32767 Down
Then in shell
Code:
$ chmod 777 /dev/js0
But this didn't work.
Still no joystick action here. Using "jstest /dev/js0" confirms that I have the device right. And also the buttons.
So I googled, and found this:
HOWTO_Gamepad_in_Mythfrontend
Code:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-joystick-menu
So having done that, i used "make clean" then "make" and "make install".
Stil no joystick action.
Question 1
What have I missed, is there anyone of you fine gentlemen who can point me in the right direction here?
Question 2
Also, I have two joysticks, and I'd really like it if they both worked so I didn't have to choose one before I navigate
Question 3
Then there is listed four units on my system, any ideas what they can be?
Code:
$ ls -al /dev/js*
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13, 0 Apr 10 2005 /dev/js0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13, 1 Apr 10 2005 /dev/js1
cr--r--r-- 1 root root 13, 2 Apr 10 2005 /dev/js2
cr--r--r-- 1 root root 13, 3 Apr 10 2005 /dev/js3
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13, 0 Apr 10 2005 /dev/js0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13, 1 Apr 10 2005 /dev/js1
cr--r--r-- 1 root root 13, 2 Apr 10 2005 /dev/js2
cr--r--r-- 1 root root 13, 3 Apr 10 2005 /dev/js3
I hope I've supplied enough info here for ya. If not I'll be happy to supply more if you tell me to pick it up. Please be overbearing; I'm a linux newbie.
Cheers!
