Hi, How do you get joysticks working under linux (ubuntu 9.04) and possibly mac as well? I have a usb adapater for PS2 controllers. When using the joycount command it always returns 0 JSCalibrator will find the controller and calibrates it fine on /dev/js0 is there anything special that needs doing? Thanks. Andy.

joysticks work fine for me on all the macs i've tested Bullet candy on over the years. Linux joysticks i've never got to work though, hence no Bullet candy on Linux. Cheers Charlie
