HOWTO:Get my USB Logitech Rumblepad working.

Logitech ignore Linux so do not provided any drivers or help :( but most are already catered for by the Linux kernel.

Plug your joystick into a USB port. Type the following command and then press some buttons or wiggle the joystick.

cat /dev/input/js0

If you see some unusual characters on the screen it means Linux found your USB rumblepad. (It's a good sign).:DD

Install the joystick software so you can calibrate your stick.

sudo apt-get install joystick

Joystick is a program to calibrate the gamepad from the console. Use these commands to calibrate and then test the rumble pad. There will be a whole bunch of numbers on the screen which should change as you press buttons and wiggle the joysticks.

jscal /dev/input/js0  jstest /dev/input/js0
