Hi,
the forum just failed to subit and forgot my text, so I'm gonna rewrite it in shorter form because I don't have the patience to do it all in nice well formated sentences again... >.<
using inputmangler to remap REL events of Spacemouse to ABS. Worked fine before, now it's detected as controller and game thinks ABS_Z & ABS_RZ are triggers. -> only working in one direction
Steam Input also thinks it's XBOX controller - turned off for the game, but
steam -console contains:
Game 392160 created interface SteamController008 /
Game 392160 created interface SteamFriends017 /
Game 392160 created interface SteamInput006 /
so maybe X4 is using it despite that?
other axes (ABS_(THROTTLE|RUDDER|WHEEL|HATX0)) not recognized at all
theory: X4 believes Spacemouse is a controller and ignores them.
What are the criterie to differ controller/trigger from stick?

Re: Spacemouse on Linux: 2 Axes detected as triggers
At a pure guess as I don't know the hardware involved, trigger and button outputs should be mapped to in-game digital inputs, and sticks and throttles should be mapped to in-game analogue inputs. If that is all done, then I don't know what else to suggest, sorry.

Re: Spacemouse on Linux: 2 Axes detected as triggers
The hardware here is basically a 6-axis joystick.
What goes wrong is that the game falsly believes 2 of these 6 axes to be triggers. These still can be used to provide analogue input events - but only in one direction, e.g. only turn right.
Movements in the other direction are ignored by the game.

Does the linux installation use the same types of xml profiles for apps as the PC version?kermit_frog wrote: Sun, 15. Jan 23, 17:06 The hardware here is basically a 6-axis joystick.

Asking questions of posters in a 3 year old thread is likely unhelpful.
