Joyous ====== About ----- Joyous is a joystick mapper which allows users to map joystick buttons to X events. It currently supports sending key presses/releases, full string key presses, and executing commands. Configuration ------------- All button configurations are made through modifications to config.h. Joyous comes bundled with a sample config.h. JOY_DEV in config.h specifies the default path to the joystick device. See customization instructions and examples in config.h. Usage ----- To use joyous, simply launch the joyous binary. Any key presses will be sent to the active X window. See --help for usage information. Installation ------------ By default installs to /usr/local/bin 1. Edit config.h to your liking. 2. run 'make' 3. run 'make install' (may need to do this as root) Requirements ------------ * Linux 2.2 or newer * X11 * XTest must be enabled in your X11 install if you want to send keystrokes, or mouse button events. * A joystick Notes ----- * Applications are able to disable or not recognize "XTest" events. In the case that an application does so, it will not be possible to send key presses to it. * Based on an outline from br0ke on the Linux Games mailing list.
