Logitech Dual Action and xboxdrv

I can't make it work. It is recognized, here's lsusb output:
Bus 006 Device 007: ID 046d:c216 Logitech, Inc. Dual Action Gamepad
I followed the wiki to mimic the Xbox 360 controller: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/joystick
So I determined my gamepad's input with evtest and then I tried to map it with:
sudo xboxdrv --evdev /dev/input/event1 \
--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RZ=x2,ABS_Z=y2,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y \
--axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2 \
--evdev-keymap BTN_TRIGGER=x,BTN_TOP=y,BTN_THUMB=a,BTN_THUMB2=b,BTN_BASE3=back,BTN_BASE4=start,BTN_BASE=lt,BTN_BASE2=rt,BTN_TOP2=lb,BTN_PINKIE=rb,BTN_BASE5=tl,BTN_BASE6=tr \
--mimic-xpad --silent
Getting this output:

Your Xbox/Xbox360 controller should now be available as:

Press Ctrl-c to quit
But no new input device is created, no matter if I reboot. Am I missing something?

I found it in the system profiler.
Looks like it is picking it up.
Looks like Logitech does not make any software for the MAC for the controllers.
Thanks for the help guys.

Logitech Dual Action Gamepad

I purchased a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad for my son to use to play Lego Star Wars on the Power Book G4. When it's connected, the System Profiler shows that the Mac "recognizes" the device, but nothing happens on the screen. I emailed tech support for the software and they told me it may need to be calibrated. I tried to follow the instructions, but nothing happened. Anyone have experience getting a USB gamepad such as this to work, or have other suggestions that things I might try?

Well, maybe you don't neeed xf86-input-joystick but I have a usb logitech gamepad and I didn't use joydev or anything else but did install xf86-input-joystick--maybe I don't need it after all--and it just works. I'll have to check that computer later when I'm using it as MOD_AUTOLOAD in rc.conf maybe autoloads joydev??
Edit: Well I'll be, joydev is loaded after all so I guess the module autoloads. Arch is smart.

Is the logitech dual action gamepad compatible with Halo OSX?

I recently purchased a logitech dual action gamepad and installed Halo on my iMac but the game does not let me use the gamepad only the keyboard and mouse. Are there any tips or is it just not compatible with Halo?

yeah it is. i have one too. you need to install the update to 1.05 to be able to use joysticks and gamepads, though.
i even set mine up as close as possible to the xbox version so i can switch platforms easily. my advice to be able to do this if you want is to make button #1 (should be the left button on the right side) make that the 'action' button so you can reload and get into vehicle with the same button, just like xbox. w/e, just sharing my knowledge.

Logitech Dual Action Gamepad on iMac?

Hi, I bought a gamepad for call of duty 2 or use with MOH, it is recognised in system profiler... it is a usb logitech dual action. For some unknown reason to me the gamepad will not work on either of these two games, has ne1 any solutions or explanations? Thanks in advance,
baz, Ireland.

Hi baz,
have you had a look on the Logitech website to see if there are any drivers for the pad.
Maybe you must install specific drivers for the pad to work within games.
That the System Profiler recognizes the pad doesn't mean that it will work as planned without drivers.
Also if there are drivers make sure that these are Universal Binary so that they will work with your Intel iMac.
Good Luck

[SOLVED]mupen64plus and Logitech Dual Action Controller mapping issues

I'm trying to configure mupen64plus with a logitech controller (via m64py), but for some reason the main control stick doesn't map properly. Any other axis besides the main axis maps to the correct "axis (3+)" and "axis(3-)" position, but for some reason the main control stick maps to "hat(0 left)", "hat(0 right)", "hat(0 up)" and "hat(0 down)". When I try to load mupen64plus, it then gives an error saying that direction hat(0 up) and hat(0 left) are unknown directions and correspondingly, the two directions on the controller don't work.
I've tried re-defining the axes for axis(0+) and 0-, but that does not seem to do anything.
I have also tried switching from xpad to xboxdrv to see if there might be an improvement, but xboxdrv doesn't even detect the controller.
Does anyone have some suggestions for configuring this? Any help is appreciated.

I ran jscal from the terminal with
jscal -c /dev/input/js0
Strangely, the inputs for the '+' pad and the main analogue stick seem to be switched, i.e. the analogue stick only returns values of +1, 0, -1 for its axes and the + pad returns values of 1, 128, 255 for its axes... the other analogue stick returns the 1,128,255 axis values which makes sense since it's sensitive to amount of deflection.
I tried the SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE setting. That made the program detect a different joystick, however the configuration has the same issues as before (i.e. it's detecting the same joystick as being a different device, but the configuration is the same as before)

Using Logitech (PS3 style) Dual Action Gamepad Controller as Mouse in FCP

I would like to use Logitech's (PS3 style) Dual Action Gamepad Controller for mouse functions in FCP. Any ideas how to go about doing this?

Try pressing the PS button for 2-3 seconds with Bluetooth on and discoverable before you plug into your MB. When the lights flash, plug it in and press the PS button for 2-3 seconds again. You may need to open System Prefs and click the settings cog below your listed devices in the Bluetooth pane. Once the controller is recognized, click the settings cog and click "add as favorite" & "update services". It should auto pair now whenever you press the PS button when BT is on. I play Borderlands 2 on my 2011 MBP with a PS3 controller. It was a huge chore to find the solution but, heres what I did. Purchase Joystick Mapper, open it, have the controller on. In the menu bar under File, click load examples. Theres a bunch of pre-defined settings for both the PS and XB360 controllers. Some for using as a mouse, First Person Shooter, games that use keys & mouse and so on. I pulled the PS3 FPS example and cloned the example as to not delete the original. Labeled it Borderlands 2 and turned down the sensitivity on the Axis'. They were way to touchy for me. Its not perfect for me yet BUT, it works completely. The Use or E button is actually the Left D-Pad but, its not that odd. It also will give you a good idea on how to do it for other games. Just make a profile for each one. Clone that and then tweak it to your liking. Good luck!

Automation plugin as action and via File/Automate

Hi,
I have an Automation plugin that is scriptable (it has a number of exposed scriptable parameters and can be recorded and run from Actions palette). The plugin displayes the UI when it is called interactively (from File/Automate).
I am however having troubles distinguishing when it is called from an Action palette as a playback of recorded action and when it actually was called interactively from File/Automate (testing it in Photoshop CS6). On plugin invocation I check passed action descriptor and if not empty, read parameters from it and don't show the UI. On the call end, I write script parameters back to a descriptor to be able to use them in recorded action. With this in mind, after PS start first time selecting File/Automate works as expected - no descriptor/parameters passed into the plugin. But after a first call, Photoshop seems to keep the descriptor/parameters written at the end of the plugin and passes it on subsequent user invoked File/Automate. The same happens if plugin is getting called from a recorded action playback (and its expected). Basically after a first invocaction, the plugin will always receive action descriptor whether it called from an action playback or invoked by user.
I need to distinguish these two cases and basically present UI/start from scratch when user invokes it and use the passed action parameters when action plays it. I have not found anything in SDK to point me to the solution so I'd appreciate the help.
In filter plugins I can at least get selector start when invoked from UI and use that to free/ignore the action descriptor data.

I don't think you should care. The option you do care about is this one:
PIDialogPlayOptions playInfo
That is part of PIActionParameters *actionParameters
That is part of your PSActionsPlugInMessage that comes into your automation plugin entrypoint.
This parameter has three options:
a) always display the dialog,
b) only display the dialog if you don't like the parameters you are given,
c) never display a dialog (either return an error or proceed with best options but don't stop with a dialog)
From the file menu, user selected, you should get option a (always). From the actions panel you should get option a or b. From scripting you can get all three options.
There is also a property in PIProperties.h called propPlayInProgress but the above information should be what you need to do the correct thing with dialogs.

Dual display and VRAM usage.

Hi, back in the days I wanted a 12" iBook but couldn't afford one, last autumn thought I decided to get a Macbook Pro, the update came and...
.. it had 128MB vram.
I want to use dual screen and maybe even occasional gaming, I couldn't decide if this where sufficient for my needs or not so I waited for the june update.
The mid-07 MBP arrived and, it had 128MB vram AGAIN!
Why oh why Apple? Oh, don't answer that, it's because you're in bed with Intel and want to force feed us useless highest end CPUs. But all I care for is the VRAM, why do I have to pay a ****-of-a-lot for a 1/11th faster CPU?
Anyway, I tried to decide if I should "bit the sour Apple" and get the mid modell or just get the low one because that one is much more price worthy. A few days ago I ordered the low end one.
But then I've seen on barefeats that he says that a 30" ACD display would use 128MB vram of the 256MB vram modell, are vram always splitted between displays in OS X?
You see, if the extra 20" 1680x1050 display only use 1680x1050x(3 or 4) bytes that is ok, maybe even if it's double buffered (is it?), because then I will probably have like 100MB vram left for all my windows and for desktop usage that is probably ok. But if the vram is shared between displays and my 20" which I will use most only get 64MB vram that's quite low.
I know I can turn of the sleeping capabilities of the MBP and shut the lid and only use one screen but that's a quite lame solution.
I hate how Apple does this, and it seems to worry a lot of people. Some get the more expensive modell and hate that they had to do it, some doesn't, and some don't buy a machine at all .. I would probably have stayed in the last crowd.
256MB vram can't have cost them many tens of dollars, why not have that in all modells? Why is the middle one even needed? Just make 2.4GHz CPU and option in that case.
Anyway, does anyone know how much vram my screen will have available? Will 128MB work for me with all the regular desktop apps I will have running? Or should I really go with the 256MB one? The tricky part is that my MBP might be shipped today or similair.
I've called Apple support three times but noone of them knows how this works so they aren't for much help.
(Dell vostro 1500 sells here in Sweden for less than half the price of the mid MBP and comes way more balanced, you can even get a 1680x1050 screen. Sure it has 2.0GHz CPUs or whatever but I don't care about that. Where is the old "omg MHz myth"-Apple? Please understand CPU speed isn't everything. Instead of leading the MHz myth fight it ;D, start calling the CPUs T7300 and so on aswell ;D)

Hi Johan, actually the VRAM used by OS X is likely to be quite a bit more than just your screen resolution multiplied by 3 or 4, since each open window is composited offscreen for the shadow effects and for things like zooming (Ctrl-Mousewheel) and the "Genie effect".
I'm pretty sure the total VRAM isn't divided in half for each of the two displays though, as it will be allocated from the video driver on an as-needed basis. In practice, with both displays active and a few windows open, you should still have maybe 80-90% of your VRAM available for applications.
Games and other VRAM-heavy applications are a special case as these will typically use as much VRAM as you can give them, and swap out to system RAM via the PCI-X bus when they need more (and unlike swapping to disk, swapping into VRAM from system RAM is still pretty fast).

I delete some emails ,there are moved to trash . I delete them from trash folder too and they still appear in a folder called 'all messages". I repeat the same actions and after a while they appear again!what should i do to delete them permanently??

If you are using Apple's Mail app 6.5 is the latest version irrespective of what a previous poster says. It does sound though that you are using a gmail account online via a web browser. Please confirm and fill in missing information.

HT4085 How do I lock my ipad screen so the swipe action and side button on screen don't work? My cats do these things and the game disappears.

How do I lock my ipad screen so the swipe action and the side button on the screen do not work? When my cats play a game on my ipad, they regularly swipe the screen and push the side button and the game disappears.

The button on the top that you use to lock and unlock or put to sleep is the power button. The button lower center of the screen is the home button...can be used to also wake from sleep and switch to the base home screen.
Good to hear you are now able to lock rotation, even if you are not sure how you did it
If you go to the iBook icon, tap Store in the uppper left side of the screen, you can search for the iPad User Guide...a free download that will place the guide in your iBooks library as a great source of background information.

How to: using the Place command in an action and remember the correct source filename...

I have a large set of product, architecture, and other subject-specific photos, that I’m preparing for a new website; all to be placed in various galleries.
For each photo, I want it to have the same background. If I were doing this manually, I would simply “place” the subject photo into the background, and save it – back to the original photo name.
In other words, doing this manually, PRODUCT_001.TIF gets placed into STANDARD_BKGRND.TIF, (thereby automatically correctly sizing and centering it), and then saving the result back to PRODUCT_001.TIF; either overwriting the original, or into a new folder. (I have the original file somewhere else, and am working with an intermediate copy).
But since I have several hundred photos, how do I create an action (and really – a droplet) that will save the resulting file to the desired name? Typically placing photo ‘PRODUCT_001’ into photo ‘B’, alters photo ‘STANDARD_BKGRND’, so I can’t save the result back to ‘PRODUCT_001’. Said differently, in a droplet, each time it's run saves the result back to the same filename 'STANDARD_BKGRND'.
The end result – I want to apply that droplet to all the PRODUCT_***.TIF files in a given folder, and end up with the same file names as before.
Thanks in advance for your help!

PS - I have no scripting experience in PS, but have written code in other applications/scenarios.

Its great that your products are cutouts layers, Its easy to put cutouts on backgrounds and even add layer style to the product layer to enhance the composite. Still cutouts have size and resolution as do your background images.
When you make composites. A document that is place in or pasted into the current document will be resample to match the current documents DPI resolution to preserve the size of the document being place or pasted in size.
Additionally if your using place if the document being placed in does not fit within the current document's canvas size. Photoshop may scale the image to fit within the canvas. It depends on your user id Photoshop Preference setting.
That means you need you handle the sizes involved.
I would think that you would want the final composite to be the size of the background image.
You need to know its size and dpi resolution. You must use image size on your product image and make the image have the same dpi resolution and a size smaller then the background image. Perhas they have the same dip resolution as the background and are smaller in size. If that the cast their size are good no image resize is required,
Then you need to use canvas size to make the document have the same size and resolution as the background image.
You may want to center the product layer over the canvas however Canvas size will add canvas evenly around the produt layer's layer bounds when you leave the anchor point in the center.
When you then place in the background image it will not be resampled for it has the same dpi resolution as the current document and it will not be scaled for it is an exact canvas size fit. All that remains to be done is move the current placed layer below the product layer
The document name is the product image file name opened by you or by Photoshop automate batch process.

PS - I have no scripting experience in PS, but have written code in other applications/scenarios.

Actions don't have access to the document name (where the file name is). Scripts do, however.
If your products are sequentially numbered, you're in luck. You can overide the "Save as command" and make sure that your naming uses a sequence which you can set to the same starting number as your product. Here is an example of how to configure File -> Automate -> Batch (assume the set and action are your hand built one)
Instead of "Document name" you'd type "PRODUCT_" per your example and choose a 3 digit Serial number.
The "Starting Serial #" is where you can change if your products are numbered say, 101 and up.

I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts. All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window". But what if you have no device window?

Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
I thought the libraries were the same.

Unable to expand DG is Lync client - Cannot perform this action, and the cause is unknown.

Hi,
I have a user in our Hong Kong office that is unable to open a distribution group she has added to her Groups. She gets the error message "Cannot perform this action, and the cause is unknown. Contact your support team to investigate."
I can add the group and expand it, so can some of her colleague, and some cannot. Her colleagues who can have the same client and global policy settings as she does.
I read in a similar thread that this could be resolved by confirming the server times on Lync, AD (domain controller checked and Exchange but they were all correct and in sync.
The global policy is set to 250 max contacts - but does a DL count as 1 contact, or does it count all the people within the DG? I am getting HK to confirm she does not have too many contacts but I dont think this is the issue.
Anyone else come across this issue?
Phil

PI 7.1(dual stack) and PI 7.31(Single stack) -

Friends,
I have a proxy to proxy scenario - Proxy --> PI --> Proxy
We have two servers PI 7.1(dual stack) and PI 7.31(Single stack)
i did the development in ESR and my ESR is pointing to PI 7.1, when i execute the scenario i receive one error message "receiver could not be determined", i ensured that all my input is correct, still i get the same error message.
the expectation is my scenario should point to PI 7.31, Can some one help me where and what settings i need to make in-order to make it work.
Please Note: All my data is correct and i read some scn forums wherein they asked to refresh the cache , i have refreshed the cache also still the problem persists.
Thanks in advance!

Communication component in ID is the same as sender side.
could you share your sender configuration?
Did you mean Tcode - SXMB_ADM and under that Sender/Receiver configuration
Krupa Rao Atluri
In ID steps are correctly defined.
I spoke to my colleague he hinted that at RUN TIME we want to point to PI7.31, he mentioned config change needed in SXMB_ADM
any further inputs from any one could be useful.
