Joystick help

No, just meant to make sure there's not another axis you're forgetting about. Sometimes certain buttons are analog for instance (some triggers). In my case it's a gain slider on the top right of the control, above the Y and Z buttons in this picture: (edit: picture is gone, search for images of Logitech Wingman RumplePad on Google)

It slides left to right. Sometimes when sitting perfectly still, my computer will show it jerking back and forth erratically. Moving it a little makes it better. This may not be your problem, it's just one that could cause the things you describe...

Can you look at the joystick values in a joystick tester program and see how it looks there? Maybe you can identify a problem better there, and I can get a better idea of how I can make sure it doesn't cause problems anymore.

Also, when you "draw the boxes" in the calibration screen what does it look like in the end? Is it any shape besides square - is there any white showing anymore? Could you post the contents of your ~/.vdrift/calibration file? Just the first few lines are fine, after it starts repeating "-0.1 0.1" you can cut it off.

By the way, if you want to try playing the game without the joystick in the meantime, edit your ~/.vdrift/VDrift.config file and set the line under "[ joystick ]" that says "calibrated = on" to "calibrated = off".
