Bug report Gamepad support in Linux

[Martin Ždila]

Hello,

I am using RoR 2020.01 on Linux and it doesn't detect my gamepads even though I have two gamepads plugged in USB and both are working in other games.

In the logs I see + Total JoySticks: 0.

Is there anything I could try?

I'm having the same problem. RoR installed as a snap package on Ubuntu 20.04. Version information:

Version Information: Rigs of Rods
version: 2020.01-dev-fae7586
protocol version: RoRnet_2.42
build time: 2020-01-21, 11:23

The problem is the same Martin has. The joystick does not show up in the log and even after configuring the input.map I cannot use it to control the vehicles.

Have you both made sure you have an Xbox driver installed? https://gaming.stackexchange.com/qu...e-to-use-xbox-one-controller-on-linux-distros
And is it detected by the OS/works in other games?

Yeah I'm still having this issue as of today. Just like everyone else, I installed RoR using snap, and joysticks do not show up in the log, and I can confirm they are working in `evtest` and `jstest`.

maybe the input is causing that problem

Input device support in Linux has always been extremely limited. The device either isn't detected at all (like above) or the button mappings are completely different/broken from a Windows input map. The only code contributor we currently have who uses Linux isn't quite skilled enough (yet) to fix this issue, so unfortunately I don't think this will be solved any time soon.
