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 program 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.



This program has been used so-far on GNU/Linux systems with a

USB gamepad.

Other Software Required:
SDL (www.libsdl.org)
