--- Comment #3 from Bruno Jesus 00cpxxx@gmail.com --- On Linux the dinput implementation offers the same joystick using 2 flavors: - Using the older kernel joystick interface - (js) postfix - Using the newer event input interface - (event) postfix
You can check which works best for you and disable the other. The (event) one is the only that supports force feedback.
If you move the joystick does it auto center after you release it? Does it also stays in the top using native apps? eg jstest-gtk.
I have generic joysticks that also start at the top and require a first input to auto-center.
If the problem is not present in jstest-gtk please open a new bug attaching a +dinput log.
