Linux user here, any way to use a controller?

[fletcherkildren]

Hi all, as the title suggests, I'm running Mint 15 Cinnamon on my HTPC and would love to sofa-sneak my way thru some fan missions. The few scant tidbits I've found about using the Xbox 360 controller and the Dark Mod seem to all be PC based and require Xpadder. Any linux users find a similar problem?

Yep, I came up with a solution for this a wile ago so I can play TDM on my laptop when I'm out with a gamepad. Install the xserver-xorg-input-joystick package. This is a driver that allows you to map buttons on your joystick to serve as the mouse and keyboard.

EDIT: I'm using a Logitech Dual-action controller. I don't know if the buttons will match up on different controllers (such as XBOX gamepads or others).

This looks quite promising - thank you!
