Ubuntu - Joystick

Install the Joystick Driver

sudo apt-get install xboxdrv

sudo chmod 666 /dev/uinput

sudo xboxdrv

When you move the joystick, you should see the numbers change.

Change the sudo xboxdrv live as above to the following to run quite.

sudo xboxdrv --silent --detach-kernel-driver --daemon

sudo modprobe joydev
sudo modprobe uinput
sudo rmmod xpad
blacklist xpad
sudo apt-get install xboxdrv jscalibrator xboxdrvctl

NOTE: The blacklist xpad is if you want to edit the .conf.

sudo apt install jscalibrator
jscal -c /dev/input/js0 
jstest /dev/input/js0
jscalibrator

NOTE: Change the 'js0' to the right number.

jscalibrator runs it.
