Xserver-xorg-input-joystick driver




















Org will autorepeat those keys according to current keyboard settings. If you only care about raw valuator events instead of using the joystick to control the cursor, consider using the evdev 4 input driver. Remember, that valuators 0 and 1 are reserved for pointer movement, additional axes will start with valuator 2. You might also want to set the device "floating" to stop it from reporting core events:.

It is not recommended to enable the joystick input driver by default unless explicitely requested by the user. Configuration through InputClass sections is recommended in X servers 1. See xorg. An example xorg. Configuration through hal fdi files is recommended in X servers 1. Xorg 1 , xorg. Source file: joystick. Found a problem?

See the FAQ. Use this driver, if you want to - generate cursor movement , perform button or key events to control desktop and applications - generate cursor key events for playing legacy games, that have no native joystick support Do not use, if you want to - play games, that have native joystick support - use XI2 applications. There is no support for force feedback at the moment.

The following Driver Options are supported: Option "Device" " string " Option "Path" " string " Specifies the device through which the joystick can be accessed. This option is mandatory and there is no default setting. Option "AutoRepeat" " delay rate " Sets the auto repeat behaviour for key events.

Default: Xorg default Option "DebugLevel" " integer " Controls the verbosity of the driver for debugging purposes. The higher the DebugLevel, the more output is produced. Different factors can be combined. When the button is released, matching keyup events in the opposite order are generated. You can specify up to 4 scancodes per button. With this information, we can write our first few lines of code. Copyright headers and includes are skipped for brevity.

Please refer to the full source code. In the previous listing you can see the call to xf86AddInputDriver. This call tells X information about a new available driver. As said before, a module may contain multiple drivers. Its of type InputDriverRec. Some of the fields here are important, others aren't quite as important. Identify is never called for input drivers anyway, so none of the X.

All drivers use a driverVersion of 1. Other fields are more important. This doesn't have to be the same name as the module. The driver name is what you will need to refer to it in the Section "InputDevice" in your xorg. PreInit will be called when your device has been added to the server. It will be called once per device and allows you to initialize internal structs you need for your driver to function correctly.

UnInit will be called when your device is removed from the server. Clean up your mess here. With all this code in place we already have a driver that compiles and can be loaded up. However, it won't do anything, except wasting a few CPU cycles. And it's not particularly good at that either.

PreInit is called when a new device is added to the server. This can happen at server startup the device has an entry in the config file or during runtime hotplugged. For us as driver developers this doesn't really matter. Note that PreInit will be called for each device using our driver! First we let the server allocate information, then we allocate a RandomDeviceRec for our own information and attach it to the device's private field.

The RandomDeviceRec look at the source is just the struct we need to store device-internal stuff for our driver. Our driver is so simple, it won't contain much. The more complicated your driver is, the more you will have to store in this private struct. So first we check for a driver-specific options. If the "Device" option is set, we extract it if not, we use the default provided.

The same interface is available to get other data types. Using xf86SetStrOption marks the option as used and also prints it to the log file. After we're done processing our special options, we just tell the server to process all generic options e. Once the device is open, you may want to do some additional funky stuff have a look at evdev to get information from the device. Finally we close the file again, after all it was just a test to see if it's there.

Let's set some flags and finish up. Key to using our device is starting and stopping it when necessary. If your driver does not do this, it may cause havoc when your device is hotplugged or removed at runtime. The server expects the device to allocate all necessary information to figure out what type of device it is.

Here's the code we use to init a device hardcoded to two buttons. Your device should include some option to switch the button map around, but we don't bother for it here. And here's the code to init a device hardcoded to two axes. This would be my preferred method of gaining access to fix it if possible , although I'm happy to try anything, live USB, systemrescuecd etc.

Debian is my lightweight alternative, which I growing very fond of. Please help. Last edited by tedrogers on , edited 3 times in total. Uninstalled xserver-xorg-input-libinput - now can't login!

What about single user mode? Re: Uninstalled xserver-xorg-input-libinput - now can't logi Post by Bulkley » When I do something really dumb I figure it's time to go for a walk or sit down with a large mug of coffee. Do whatever will take you mind off the problem. We all do these things. After doing enough of them we learn to do backups. The chances are that your Debian is alive and well but without it's GUI.

Now is the time to use basic command line instructions CLI. When you boot up your Debian it is probably asking for your username and password.
