NAME
       jstest-gtk - joystick testing and configuration tool

SYNOPSIS
       jstest-gtk [options]...	[device]...

DESCRIPTION
       jstest-gtk  is  a  simple  joystick tester based	on Gtk+. It provides a
       list of attached	joysticks, a way to display which buttons and axis are
       pressed,	a way to remap axis and	buttons	and a way  to  calibrate  your
       joystick.

       Even  when your joystick	is working mostly fine,	you might want to give
       it a try, as the	calibration lets you  get  rid	of  overlarge  default
       deadzones  that	many joysticks use and then is a noticeable problem in
       some games.

USAGE
       jstest-gtk is mainly a graphical	interface to check that	your joysticks
       and pads	work properly. You can find precise information	on each	 axis,
       you can optionally recalibrate it and also change the mapping.

       If  you run the program without parameters, you will get	a window show-
       ing all the joystick devices in your system (there  can	be  more  than
       one).  When  you	double click on	one of them, you will get a new	window
       with detailed information about its axes	and buttons.

       There are two buttons in	the detailed window called "Mapping" adn "Cal-
       ibration", that allows you to reconfigurate the device.

       If you run the program with  a  device  as  an  argument	 (for  example
       /dev/input/js0),	 you  will get the detailed window for that device di-
       rectly, without getting the whole list of joysticks in the system.

       Calibration of the axis consists	in a simple window in  which  you  set
       the  values  that  go directly into the operative system	configuration,
       without doing any changes on them. They're divided in  range  and  dead
       zone (or	center). In both of them you have to set a minimum and a maxi-
       mum. You	also have a checkbox for inverting the axis.

       Values  are  changed  and  applied  in the same instant that you	modify
       them, there's no	need for clicking anywhere or doing anything else  for
       applying	the changes.

OPTIONS
       These  program follows the usual	GNU command line syntax, with long op-
       tions starting with two dashes (`-').
