You need : Code: input.device = '/dev/input/event0' (string) Where "0" will be some number. 000dom000 wrote: > also you said to find out which dev/input/event it is. isn't that what I use for native games. that is /dev/input/js1 Yes and no. There are 2 joystick input interfaces - "Linux input" and "event device" aka evdev. Evdev is a newer interface. But most distros configured so you don't have direct access to those devices. You should find which device is it, and chmod it so Wine can use it.
