Game Input MultipleXer

hi, i tried out gimx and have to say that its awesome. i used a xim1 before, but gimx is far better... still i have two questions.

why are there 2 editors at all? iam aware that fps config is little more easy to use, but iam a little confused about this.

when i open a .cfg in the normal editor values seem to be different compared to when i open the same cfg in the fps editor. so what values are correct? i tried this with mckacks bf3 cfg, and opening it editor gives me different sensitivity numbers. any help on this? i wonder which cfg gimx uses then if two cfgs are stored in one file.

second is about compiling the source for unbuntu 11.10 (tried newer releases and all will give me some kind of lag or disconnects).

when i follow the step by step tutorial to compile the sources, it always gives me some kind of error like "no rule to make..." he is even not creating the dirs he needs it seems.

iam kinda a linux noob, so it would be very cool if someone could give a step by step instruction what is needed to build the sources on 11.10. i really tried everything i could find, but i guess its somehow related with user rights...

besides that, GIMX is awesome - keep up the good work.

regards

The values are the same in the two editors. gimx-fpsconfig sets the same parameters for both x and y axes, except the y sensitivity that can be changed through the x/y ratio. Anyway, the right way to edit the mouse translation values is to use the calibration mode.

I fixed the source code, it should now compile in Ubuntu 11.10. And don't forget the last step about the input device permissions.

thx for the reply.

yah, indeed it does compile now under ubuntu 11.10, but when i open it up every version number will say. 0.00 (on about in menu) - is this correct?

will give it a try if it works stable and report...

okay i tried it for like 15 minutes on battlefield and it seems to work fine (first time mouse movement was like crazy in circles, but i just restarted the emu client and since then it worked smooth)

one question though. is it possible to change the shift+esc combo for me? my esc key is broken on the laptop i use for this, and i have to unplug my mouse everytime to get mouse cursor back lol

Yes, this is correct.

well... after like 10 minutes more the mouse keeps going crazy again - never hat that on 0.51 using my hama bt stick.

if i restart it will work again, but i guess its not a solution.

The shift+esc combo can't be changed without editing the source code.
The line to modify is line 301 in GIMX/core/calibration.c.
For example you can replace "GE_KEY_ESC" with "GE_KEY_F1".

If you want to get rid of these bluetooth issues once and for all you should build a DIY USB adapter. It costs about 10$ when buying parts from ebay.

can u also buy a complete assembled adapter? if u know where, please lemme know

and about the bluetooth issues... with 0.51 i didnt have em, but now i do?

The source code changed...

You can try commenting lines 114 to 119 in core/l2cap_con.c (add // at the beginning of each line).

You can also try commenting lines 571 to 576 in core/emu.c.

thanks for your help.

actually 0.51 works without lag or freezing anything, so i will have to stick to this version until id get one of those adapters.
too bad you cant just buy it seems, or am i wrong?

I can build you one. Send me a private message and I'll give you the details.
