How to enable a usb joystick as an alternative to the mouse?
Asked by
Marja Erwin
I'm borrowing a usb joystick because of arm injuries. I just want to be able to use the computer for basic tasks [email, writing, etc.] while my arms heal, and using the keyboard and mouse requires painful arm-twists. I'm using Gnome 2/Classic in Ubuntu 11.04.
Right now the joystick shows up in ls /dev/input but cannot move the cursor and does not show up in the mouse preferences or anywhere else I've looked. I have searched for instructions to enable the joystick, but none of them have worked.
