evtest then shows the events coming from the wheel: When using evtest for testing, instead of the js0 as device handler eventX is needed, which in this case is event15 for a Formula Force GP wheel. In case that only events should be displayed, -event can be added as flag. Whenever the input is changed, jstest will print the full state of the device. $ jstest /dev/input/js0 Driver version is 2.1.0. To test the wheel with jstest simply call it with the device handler (in this case with a G29 wheel and js0): A graphical version of jstest is available in the AUR as jstest-gtk-git AUR. An alternative is evtest which can be installed via the evtest package.
One common tool is jstest which can be installed via the joyutils or the linuxconsole packages. Please memorize the Handlers, here event15 and js0, as these will be necessary to call the tools for testing and configuring the wheel.įor testing the wheel there are multiple tools that can be accessed via the command-line.
