Hi all! I have a question that hopefully someone out there knows the answer to. Ok, Im wanting to get my joystick set up in Linux (kernel 2.0.35). The joystick is a PantherXL (made by MadCatz), but the only downside right now I can see is that the joystick has 17 buttons. =( Im wanting to use it for GLQuake and GLQuakeWorld. How would one go about installing ANYTHING for a joystick? hehe Also, it seems like the joystick commands in quake have been taken out. Like, for instance, in the Windows version, you could type: "joystick 1" to turn it on. In the Linux version, when you type "joystick" it says "Invalid command". Im hoping that its just quake taking out the commands because it didnt detect a joystick, or its maybe another command.. I hope. heheh I went to the manufacturer's site, and they didnt list anything about the Panther XL in Linux. I e-mailed them, and will probably get a response within the next week or so. They probably think that Windows is the only gaming environment around (heh). Any help would be greately appreciated! Thanks again, Brady (please reply via e-mail to: bradyb@ovis.net)
