[ubuntu] Logitech Precision USB not loading

view full story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Everything I'm finding on this is eons old (in computer terms) and is not working. I plug in my USB Logitech Precision controller and nothing happens. dmesg output does not show it. I followed a bunch of different guides last night, and I can't tell exactly what modules I loaded with modprobe but I finally got it reporting...once. jscal and jstest said there was no device found. I made the /dev/input/js0 etc. entries like I read in a guide and now it says "No such device". So I rebooted. I hadn't rebooted with the gamepad plugged in, maybe this would do it. After all, most people I'm reading have theirs work just by plugging it in. Well now dmesg doesn't show anything when I unplug/plug the gamepad in and now I can't figure out what module I loaded last night that did let it show up in dmesg, even though it wasn't working and the input devices were not there. This gamepad works fine on my Mac so I know it's not the gamepad, and that USB port works fine for other devices. The last time I ran linux with this gamepad I was using Gentoo and compiled everything by hand and this gamepad worked then...so I'm not sure why it's not coming up, the device entries are not there, etc. I'm running 9.10 with kernel 2.6.31-16-generic. I have not recompiled the kernel. (Hardware)

Trying to connect a Logitech gamepad to TrimSlice running Ubuntu 11.10. Whenever I plug it in a new device shows up "/dev/input/event2" If I open the file, it does get data from the gamepad.

Hi

I connected my Ps3 gamepad to my computer (OS Ubuntu) via USB. I used libjsw to make a small program to read the input buttons from /dev/input/js0, also for reading correctly the values of the accelerometers I had to run a background driver (QtSixA, that also allows to connect via bluetooth). I want to know all the information that is sent by the gamepad:

/dev/input/js0 not found? 37 weeks 5 days ago

Hi, I was trying to use an emulator, Kega Fusion, that requires the gamepad/joystick device to be js0, instead of relying on the event devices like everything else does, and it's not detecting my gamepad. I looked under /dev to find the js0 file, and didn't find it, but everything that relies on SDL works great with the gamepad. Is the /dev/input/js0 file deprecated now?

I recently downloaded TuxKart (awesome MarioKart game clone!) and it prompted me to attach my old USB Logitech WingMan RumblePad to try and play it. However I noticed that my gamepad wasn't being picked up (either by applications or the joystick utilities).

ICS usb gamepad support 21 weeks 4 days ago

I have AOSP 4.0 roms on both my Rezound and Thunderbolt. Yet it will not recognize my NES USB or logitech gamepad. Annoying enough, plug them into my cheap coby tablet and it instantly works. Rezound is using Rage Linaro and Thunderbolt is using Liquid ICS. Anyone?

The icontrollpad 1 guy (a gamepad which can be clipped at your phone), made an icontrollpad 2.

It is an android (and ios) gamepad, you can clip it to your phone / tablet and it does not need app support. There is an overlay software. When you press button x on the gamepad the software press at position x at the touchscreen.
