Joystick control is a simple tool that lets you control popular media applications using your joystick. All you need to tell it is which joystick device you want to use, and that’s all! The following applications are supported:

• Rhythmbox
• XMMS
• Beep media player
• amaroK
• tvtime

How it works

Joystick control connects to your joystick and starts detecting button presses and yoke movements. When one of these events happen, Joystick control executes the appropriate action for the highest-priority media application you have running. It really is that simple.

You can specify priorities for your applications, so when one is not running, Joystick control automatically directs joystick commands to the next running application on the list.  Refer to the user's manual to learn more.
