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 kernel.

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).

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
