Package: js2mouse
System name: js2mouse
Type: non-GNU

Description:
A simple mouse emulator that uses SDL Joystick, and provides a service

pipe in /tmp, allowing the user to operate XFree86 with a gamepad.

The gamepad emulates a mouse with protocol 'ImPS/2'.



The program allows multiple configurations to coexist, cycled by some

designated button, including mouse x and y, mouse wheel y, and three

buttons.  For those who game with the gamepad as well, the mouse mode

can be disabled with a configurable button.  In this mode, mouse events are not 
sent.  Pressing the button again enables mouse mode.



As a convenience, one axis may be used to invoke a script (by default,

"aumix -v %d" with the axis value scaled into 0-100).  This allows the

user to change the audio volume, or adjust some other system parameter

with a gamepad axis.



I use my Linux box in a mouse-unfriendly location, and also wanted to

reduce the number of usb devices drawing power from my hub.

Other Software Required:
This project uses SDL for joystick support.
