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  showing
     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 "Calibra-
     tion", that allows you to reconfigurate the device.

     If  you  run the program with a device as an argument (for example /dev/in-
     put/js0), you will get the detailed window for that device directly,  with-
     out 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 cen-
     ter). In both of them you have to set a minimum and  a  maximum.  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 options
     starting with two dashes (`-').
