I have a gamepad that works fine in Ubuntu (from a technical point-of-view), but the slider on the gamepad is malfunctioning. I would like to simply disable the slider globally so that all applications don't see that the slider exists.

Is there a configuration file or something I can edit to do this?


Edit: any advice, clues, or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated... (Such as explaining how Ubuntu manages gamepad configurations.)

  • What kind of gamepad?

  • @DKuntz2: It's a USB gamepad (9 buttons, 1 digital axis, 2 analog axes, and one annoying slider). Dec 9, 2010 at 2:42
  • That's really descriptive. What kind, brand, model, what say you. Yes, all those trivial things are important here, USB means nothing, I don't know of any gaming devices that aren't usb besides old keyboards and mouses.

  • @DKuntz2: Sorry, it's a Logitech WingMan with RumblePad. Dec 9, 2010 at 3:21
  • I found some basic information on it - sslug.dk/~chlor/joystick

The best way to configure your gamepad is to use jscalibrator which should allow you to set what ever configuration you like for any gamepad or joystick:
