Title: How to stop the USB Joystick from moving the mouse arrow

Hello everybody.
I need help and I appreciate anyone who can help me.
How to prevent USB Joystick control mouse arrow?
I move to the directions (up, down, left or right) of the USB joystick and the mouse arrow moves on the screen at the same time. Some Joystick buttons trigger the left, right, or middle mouse button.

Título: Como impedir que o controle USB movimente a seta do rato/mouse

Olá a todos.
Eu preciso de ajuda e agradeço a quem poder me ajudar.
Como impedir que o controle USB controle a seta do rato?
Eu movimento para as direções (cima, baixo, esquerda ou direita) do controle USB e a seta do rato movimenta na tela ao mesmo tempo. Alguns botões do controle acionam o botão esquerdo, direito ou do meio do rato.

Thanks christophe and blur13.

I created the ’51-joystick.conf’ file in the /etc/X11/ folder as the root user with the instructions:

Section “InputClass”
Identifier “joystick catchall”
MatchIsJoystick “on”
MatchDevicePath “/dev/input/event*”
Driver “joystick”
Option “StartKeysEnabled” “False”
#Disable mouse
Option “StartMouseEnabled” “False”
#support
EndSection 

I saved the ’51-joystick.conf’ file and closed it. Then I restarted the computer, but unfortunately the USB stick kept moving the arrow.

I also tried blur13’s suggestion, I cut the ’51-joystick.conf’ file as root user from the /etc/X11/ folder to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder and restarted the computer. But what happened was that the graphics mode didn’t start and I had to ask marcelocripe for help to have antiX in graphics mode again. marcelocripe helped me to delete the file and now I have antiX starting in graphic mode again.

Would there be any other way to prevent the USB control directional pad from moving the arrow?

Obrigado christophe e blur13.

Eu criei o arquivo ’51-joystick.conf’ na pasta /etc/X11/ como usuário root com as instruções:

Section “InputClass”
Identifier “joystick catchall”
MatchIsJoystick “on”
MatchDevicePath “/dev/input/event*”
Driver “joystick”
Option “StartKeysEnabled” “False”
#Disable mouse
Option “StartMouseEnabled” “False”
#support
EndSection 

Salvei o arquivo ’51-joystick.conf’ e o fechei. Em seguida, eu reiniciei o computador, mas infelizmente o direcional do controle USB continuou movimentando a seta.

A sugestão do blur13 eu também tentei, eu recortei o arquivo ’51-joystick.conf’ como usuário root da pasta /etc/X11/ para a pasta /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ e reiniciei o computador. Mas o que aconteceu foi que o modo gráfico não iniciou e eu precisei pedir ajuda ao marcelocripe para eu ter novamente o antiX no modo gráfico. O marcelocripe me ajudou a apagar o arquivo e agora eu estou novamente com o antiX iniciando no modo gráfico.

Teria mais alguma forma de impedir que o direcional do controle USB continue movimentando a seta?

Not sure how this happened but the quotation marks in the above text file are malformed, which can be the reason for the not starting of the graphic mode.
Please try it again with this file and place it as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/51-joystick.conf

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "joystick catchall"
        MatchIsJoystick "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "joystick"
        Option "StartKeysEnabled" "False"
        #Disable mouse
        Option "StartMouseEnabled" "False"
EndSection

Olá Caprea.
Eu substitui as aspas curvas duplas pelas aspas duplas retas no arquivo “51-joystick.conf” no caminho /etc/X11/ e reiniciei o computador. Mas não funcionou.

Hello Caprea.
I replaced the double curly quotes with the straight double quotes in the “51-joystick.conf” file in the path /etc/X11/ and restarted the computer. But it did not work.

It really IS supposed to be there (not /etc/X11).

(I once had a problem like you did with graphics not starting — it was because of an additional line in the file that I used as a comment, but I forgot to put the # in front of it. antiX tried to run that comment as some sort of command, and the xserver would not start — until I put the # in front of that line. So look carefully at your text in the file to make sure…)

Hello Christophe, Blur13, Caprea and felipecardope.

Yesterday after work I went to felipecardope to try to help him with this problem. I checked the “51-joystick.conf” file that felipecardope created in the /etc/X11/ folder and there weren’t any curly quotes that could prevent it from working.

However, @angel7 had posted the solution in this topic O my joystick is moving the mouse arrow:

@angel7 wrote: (Automatic translation to the English language)
Need to remove

sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-joystick

stops the joystick from moving the mouse arrow and buttons when pressed.

I tested it on an executable USB device (LiveUSB) with antiX 21 full 64-bit and it worked for felipecardope’s control

Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0079:0011 DragonRise Inc. Gamepad

Now the control of felipecardope works only in games and no longer controls the arrow.

Olá Christophe, Blur13, Caprea e felipecardope.

Ontem depois do trabalho eu fui até o felipecardope para tentar ajudá-lo com este problema. Eu verifiquei o arquivo “51-joystick.conf” que o felipecardope criou na pasta /etc/X11/ e não havia nenhuma aspas curvas que pudesse impedir o funcionamento.

Contudo o @angel7 havia postado a soluçao neste tópico O meu joystick está movendo a seta do mouse:

@angel7 escreveu:
Precisa remover

sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-joystick

para o joystick não mover mais a seta do mouse e nem os botões quando pressionados.

Eu testei em um dispositivo USB executável com o antiX 21 full de 64 bits e funcionou para o controle do felipecardope

Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0079:0011 DragonRise Inc. Gamepad

Agora o controle do felipecardope funciona apenas nos jogos e não controla mais a seta.

The felipecardope just warned me that in some game emulators the directional pad is not detected and in others the directional pad is detected. Therefore, removing “xserver-xorg-input-joystick” package is not the ideal solution.

O felipecardope acabou de me avisar que em alguns emuladores de jogos o direcional do controle não é detectado e em outros o direcional do controle é detectado. Por tanto, remover pacote “xserver-xorg-input-joystick” não é a solução ideal.

It sounds like maybe you need the joystick to be configurable. On this webpage I see it refers to a couple programs that do that.

These two programs

jstest-gtk
qjoypad

Did you look at this one?

I overlooked your last posts. If felipecardope really created the file in /etc/X11, this is wrong.
The file should be created in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

Many thanks to everyone who helped me.
The file “51-joystick.conf” in the path /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and after I restarted the computer the USB stick stopped moving the arrow on the screen.

Muito obrigado a todos que me ajudaram.
