Free linux input software for linux

Linux::Input::Joystick is a joystick-specific interface for Linux 2.2+

SYNOPSIS

Usage

use YAML;
my $js = Linux::Input::Joystick->new(/dev/input/js0);
while (1) {
my @event = $js->poll(0.01);
print Dump($_) foreach (@event);
}

This is a subclass of Linux::Input that implements the joystick event interface that versions of Linux from 2.2 onward support. It differs from the normal event interface in that it uses a slightly different C struct to return event information.

This subclass inherits all of Linux::Inputs methods, but differs from it in the following ways:

Class Methods

new

This method takes a $filename and returns a Linux::Input::Joystick object on success.

Example:

my $js = Linux::Input::Joystick->new(/dev/input/js1);

event_bytes

This method returns the size of the joystick event structure (which is always 8) no matter what platform you run this on.

Object Methods

poll

This method takes a $timeout as a parameter and returns an list of @events after that timeout has elapsed. The hashrefs inside @events have the following key/value pairs.

time

This is the time in microseconds that this event happened.
type

This is the type of event.
number

This number represents a more specific instance of type. For example, if type is 1 (meaning button event), then number might be 5 (meaning button 5 moved).
value

This number specifies what happened. Keeping the previous example in mind, if the value received is 1, that means the button was pressed. However, if its 0, that means the button was released.

For more information on what values to expect in this hashref, go look at /usr/include/linux/joystick.h

Vine Linux project is a Linux distribution with a highly customized Japanese environment.

Many applications supporting Kanji-Strings are included and are pre-configured so that they work just after installation is complete.

Window Maker is the standard window manager in Vine Linux. The menus and dockable applications are customized for Vine Linux and many applications are started up by a mouse click on the menus and docks.

Vine Linux comes with a lot of Japanese documentations. Provided to help you are: the Vine Linux online manuals, Japanese documentations by the JF Project, Japanese manual pages by the JM Project, and X Japanese Documentation Project.

You can easily find required information from the installed documents by using namazu, a search engine. included with the Vine Linux installations. The tknamazu, a GUI frontent for namazu, starts by a click of the information mark located in the dock of Window Maker.

X Window System, XFree86-3.3.6, is chosen because of its stability and supports new graphic chips, such as NVIDIA GeForce 256/DDR and Intel i810/i815.
