gamepad stick calibration

Hello GIMX community!

i have a huge problem running my logitech (rumblepad2?!) gamepad..
first of all - GIMX is just nice! thanks Matlo and everybody else.
i'm running ubuntu 12.04 and i never did gaming stuff on it.
actually i just want to send some commands from my notebook while playing
and use the gamepad when some PANIC is going on in the game. :lol:

problem is the two sticks (like on the ps3 controller) which seems to have digital output in GIMX.
when i do jstest-gtk, it works fine.
in GIMX its like center: 0% and a millimeter: 100% in any direction.

i was testing around the last three days. also it seems that the config is messing up everytime i reboot..

any ideas? (guess not many people are using gamepads with GIMX) :roll:

EDIT:
also i have the dead zone (DZ) set to 64 because it wont work on 0.

Code: Select all

        <axis id="lstick x" label="">
          <device type="joystick" id="1" name="Logitech Logitech RumblePad 2 USB"/>
          <event type="axis" id="0" dead_zone="64" multiplier="1" exponent="0.004" shape="Rectangle" buffer_size="" filter=""/>
        </axis>

Hi,

The default values are wrong. This bug will be fixed in the next release (issue 201).

Try this:
sensitivity = 0.004
acceleration = 1
dead zone = 0
shape = Circle
