System-wide joystick deadzone?

Hi,

I've just recently installed Arch a few weeks back, and so far most everything has worked into a simple and predictable manner (minus a few hiccups with linuxwacom).

Anyways, I have many older gamepads in which the analog sticks have gotten sloppy and never center to the same place(in this case a dualshock2 connected via a Radioshack USB adapter). As such, these devices normally required a deadzone adjustment back in windows. Is there any equivalent way to set a system deadzone in *linuxs?

I've used jscal for calibration, and it seems to have some sort of correction options but I have not found anyway to set a deadzone in it.

Thanks for your assistance

Re: System-wide joystick deadzone?

Does this help? Looks like there's some deadzone settings, but I have no clue whether they actually offset the deadzone.
