How to install joystick (for use with Processing)

[harrzack]

Thanks - after I made this post, I went in and found the Synaptic Package manager, searched for 'joystick' - found several entries.  When I installed them, and rebooted, the joystick utilities recognized the Logitech 3D!  Amazingly easy - a lucky guess!

How about starting off by showing what chips are in that game controller.
Open a terminal and give members here a output of

Code:

dmesg | grep usb

Also. Lets see if a folder is made in /media when you plug that joystick in.

Code:

cd /media

then when in the /media folder prompt

Code:

ls

It probably did not make a folder but I am just satisfying my own personal curiosity in this thread to see if that step happens or or not.
