Bug Description

Since I updated to Lucid Lynx (10.04), the controller works perfectly but the left analog still acts a my mouse even if the function to do so is disabled (it was never enabled). I tried reseting all the settings as well as re-installing but it doesn't work.

Linux distribution: Ubuntu
Ubuntu Version: Lucid Lynx 10.04
Qt version: 4.6.2
PyQt version: 4.7.2
QtSixA version: 1.2.1b

Ubuntu Lucid doesn't use HAL anymore, so Xorg config files are needed. I did what I could to make sure QtSixA would still work on Lucid.

but you're right, it still acts as joystick (I though I had fixed it already, sorry).
Delete one file and reboot:
sudo rm /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-joystick.conf

That way the Sixaxis will not act as mouse anymore.
I'll look into this and release an update soon

Hi all,

that file should comes from xorg-input-joystick, which is kinda incompatible with QtSixA (it doesnt use HAL anymore, everything is now done in code)

what do you guys think:
should I make a script to auto-remove that file on a new install?
