fyi

I just noticed running the new version of gimx (latest) for Ubuntu 64x

the "terminal" status says " joystick not found"
this is the problem!!!

now, one thing I have noticed is that the lights on the dualshack3 ps3 controller are flashing
all of them where the controller is assigned to
maybe this is the reason, becaue in the ps3, once it finds it, it higlights it with the correct assigned controller number 1-4

anyone have this problem? maybe its the controller.. I tried two of them tho
thanks!

Hi,

The bug is fixed in the latest kernel update.
In Ubuntu you can use the "Software Updater" tool to get the update.
