joystick input driver odd button mapping

[davor emard]

Thanks Sacha,

This has helped I have remapped the buttons
and I also added some acceleration too.

(seems in my debian version
Linux Debian (xorg-server 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12lenny2)

default buttons are already remapped.

When I have explicitely set them to default as in man page
then it started to work correctly. This is my final joystick section

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Joystick"
        Driver          "joystick"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/js0"
        Option          "MapButton1"            "button=1"
        Option          "MapButton2"            "button=2"
        Option          "MapButton3"            "button=3"
        Option          "MapAxis1"              "mode=accelerated axis=+1x"
        Option          "MapAxis2"              "mode=accelerated axis=+1y"
EndSection
