Re: joystick detect as mouse

Next time please use code tags, they make output a lot more readable (quote this post for an example how to use them) .

check if you have xf86-input-joystick installed.
If not, install that package.

also create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-joystick.conf with these lines in it :

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "joystick catchall"
        MatchIsJoystick "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "joystick"
        Option "StartKeysEnabled" "False"       #Disable mouse
        Option "StartMouseEnabled" "False"      #support
EndSection 

after restarting X (or reboot system), check cat /proc/bus/input/devices again.

for reference, this is the output for my Logitech joystick.

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c215 Version=0110
N: Name="Logitech Logitech Extreme 3D"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.0-8/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-8/2-8:1.0/0003:046D:C215.0002/input/input2
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=event2 js0 
B: PROP=0
B: EV=1b
B: KEY=fff00000000 0 0 0 0

Re: joystick detect as mouse

My french is bad, but the pictures suggest the Arcade Controller JUYA0 Dual Arcade" is some kind of gameport - usb converter ?

What is the brand & model of the joystick device you try to connect through this converter ?
