Saitek P3200 rumble - left stick not working #46131 11/04/08 11:00 AM

OP belegdol Senior Member Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 670 Germany	Hi. I recently got myself a saitek p3200 rumble gamepad. Nice one all in all, has 7 axes and 12 buttons (d-pad is treated as 2 axes). There is a problem with left analog stick though (axes 0 and 1 according to jstest), as sdlmame seems to be completely ignoring input from those. I can assign every other axis or button to any sdlmame action, just not these two. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! This is on Fedora 9/x86_64. P.S. Is anybody aware of some Linux application which would make the pad rumble? Last edited by Belegdol; 11/04/08 11:00 AM.

It should show / support all axes and buttons of the stick. You could at least see if they are all recognized... A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work unless it's open. [Frank Zappa]
