I am playing ur-quan masters 0.6.2 under Ubuntu Intrepid and I just bought Logitech Precision Gamepad. When launching uqm I see it's name in the logs, but besides the game doesn't react. I can't control the menu with my pad and when I configure the controls and the game asks me for a key or direction, nothing happens no matter if I press the directional button or one of the fire buttons. The pad works well with other games. How can I help? I tried to edit the keys.cfg - still nothing, mayby I should adjust the thresholds somehow, but I don't know how.

Fot or not?

This is a known problem: UQM removes game controller support from its configuration if you don't have a controller (or, to be precise, all references to a controller that is not available are removed). This means that if you run UQM without a gamepad, it will ignore one that is plugged in later. The easiest work-around is to delete keys.cfg.

Thanks. I read about this problem but I misunderstood it. I thought it's about the current run of uqm, not any run. This one is fixed. But still a problem.
This pad is not analog. At least technically, because the presses of the directional button are mapped to axes. When testing with jstest I get 128-128 for non-pressed 128-1 for up 128-255 for down 255-128 for right etc. I have read http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~mcmartin/vcontrol/doc/user.html and I see, that uqm rather expects signed values 0-0 for center etc. I have tried to play with threshold value but I have only two choices: when I set it to a number > 128 then I can move only down and right. When i set it to a number < 128 it moves itself down and right and I can only stop it. How can I recalibrate it?
EDIT: I am terribly sorry. I have just solved this problem with jscal. I don't know why jscalibrator didn't work before, but now it''s ok.
