[solved] disassociating steering wheel form mouse

Hi! I'm not sure how to exactly describe the issue. So, step by step The issue takes place on my son's computer (running Arch as well as other three computers in the family). In games he uses steering wheel, and, say, stuntrally and supertuxkart run excellent. In one of the Steam's game (ES2) X axis is associated with steering wheel, and a wheel in the game does work. But in this game mouse moving is associated with view direction outside from cab. When steering takes place, at the same time view change also takes place in the same direction. And this is the issue.

When you turn wheel with just desktop on the screen, you see mouse cursor is moving. That is a reason I named the topic the way you see.

Ideas?

Some wheel info:

$  cat /proc/bus/input/devices

Re: [solved] disassociating steering wheel form mouse

You might be able to set some options with xinput.
First use "xinput list" to find the id of your wheel, then try "xinput disable $WHEEL_ID", or maybe there are some special properties you can modify with "list-props" / "set-prop"
Edit: You might also try "float"
