PS2 gamepad not working
Gamepad Model:
PS2 gamepad
with generic usb adapter.
Gamepad is recognized
Gamepad entry, is listed on configuration menu, of various gaming apps.
However, it doesn't work.
/dev/input folder
1 joystick interface
It's visible in /dev/input, as js0
command cat js0
cat /dev/input/js0
Produces a small stream of weird characters, for around 0.25 seconds. Then stops.
Interacting with the gamepad, doesn't output any more characters.
(gamepad interaction, should be generating output characters, in
cat stream ???)
2 evdev interface
Gamepad is also visible through the evdev interface. Can be spotted in /dev/input/ by-id,
and by-path folders.
Command cat /dev/input/event## with proper event number, shows zero output.
Unplugging the gamepad, the js0 entry disappears.
Tried plugging it in other USB ports. The js0 entry re-appears.
but the behavior is the same: not working.
Gamepad conditions
Currently, don't have any other device to test the gamepad itself.
I believe it's working ok.
Recently used it with other linux, and it was working ok.
Gamepad malfunction??
could be the problem?? I hope not.
any suggestion???
