Writer Andrew Henderson

I have a joystick(img) with device id

0079-0006-DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick

I would like use it in my Ubuntu 16.04 system. So I tried to install joystick and jscalbrator to confiure the device.

Following commands where used:

sudo apt install joystick

Tried to test it with

 jstest-gtk

Output :

The program 'jstest-gtk' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:sudo apt install jstest-gtk

I tried to install it.

Output image 1

Then

sudo apt-get install jscalibrator

Output image 2

I tried antimicro,but got the error : E: Unable to locate package antimicro And

sudo apt-get install xboxdrv

Completed

sudo xboxdrv –detach-kernel-driver

Error : -- [ ERROR ] ------------------------------------------------------ No Xbox or Xbox360 controller found

Later used lsusb to find my device and got Bus 002 Device 009: ID 0079:0006 DragonRise Inc. PC TWIN SHOCK Gamepadlsusb -vd 0079:0006Output:

Output image 3

Output image 4

Then

xboxdrv --debug --device-by-id 0079:0006 --type xbox360 --detach-kernel-driver

Output image 5

jscal -c /dev/input/js0

Output:

Output image 6

I dont know what else to do.
