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?):


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:

Because (it says in the wiki to do it as root, but the file belongs to mythtv):

The content:

Then in shell


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

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?


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!

*bump*

Sorry if it's not allowed to bump, but please chastise me on PM if that's the case, and I'll never do it again.

But is there noone that has a clue as to what might be wrong with my setup here?

Unsolved issue: Joypad problem

I finally figured out what was wrong.

Eventhough joytest worked, and gave the same test results for /dev/input/js1 and /dev/js1.

It turned out that MythTV would only work with /dev/js1

run jstest --mode device. to find which port the device is located, press the buttons on the gamepad after running the command, if you have the right port you will see each buttom press on the screen.
try js0 - js3

jstest --normal /dev/js0

jstest --normal /dev/js1

and so on

change /home/mythtv/.mythtv/joystickmenurc
to match the device

devicename /dev/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

good luck to all great mod thanks.
