the joystick is calibrated in ubuntu but it reads as if uncalibrated in gimx

i have purposely tried offsetting the joystick calibration but it still is receiving the same values

Please don't multiple post, edit your last post instead.

Try this from a terminal:

Code: Select all

$ SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0 gimx-config
$ SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0 gimx-serial
If it works, just add "SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0" with no quotes at the end of /etc/environment.

Code: Select all

$ sudo gedit /etc/environment

I ended up calibrating the stick maually by trimming the pots myself, took a couple of hours but i did sort a bit of slop out in the joints, I am having a problem when tryimg to smooth mouse outputs, any tips? Its round abot 1000 dpi, I adjust the values and save and restart the software, i have checked the config is registered in the software,just need any tips,
cheers Neo

Did you tried something like buffer size = 10 and filter = 0.5 for both x & y axes?
