[pygame] Re: BUG: Problem with rockband guitar strum bar

[Coto <mcoto800@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the clue,

I used jstest /dev/input/js0 and it prints:

Joystick (Licensed by Sony Computer Entertainment America Harmonix
Guitar for PlayStation®3) has 6 axes and 13 buttons. Driver version is
2.1.0.

When i use the strum bar it prints:

Axes:  0:     0  1:     0  2:     0  3:     0  4:     0  5: 32767
Buttons:  0:off  1:off  2:off  3:off  4:off  5:off  6:off  7:off
8:off  9:off 10:off 11:off 12:off

it shows me that the axis i have just used is the 6th axis.

By the other side when i execute the SDLJoytest-GL it prints:

Joystick 0
	Name:.........Licensed by Sony Computer Entertainment America
Harmonix Guitar for PlayStation®3
	Axes:         1
	TrackBalls:...0
	Buttons:      13

Wrong number of Axes!!!!!

I think thats the problem but how can i solve it?

Thanks!
