I am very sorry I didn't understand that that was just being discussed a few post ago. But I'm happy that a solution exists indeed!
Is anyone using that xserver-xorg-input-joystick with Accelemymote succesfully?
Could someone post a way to have this xserver-xorg-input-joystick work with Accelemymote? What to do exactly with ".fid" files?
Is that package to be installed via apt-get?
Thanks,
G_Gus

Hey there, installed the gui from the app manager, but does not work - looks like it's working then shuts down. I've yet to upgraqde to pr1.2, is this the problem?
It's finally in Extras. Thanks to everyone who tested.
Next version will stop polling by default when the screen is locked.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Something just occurred to me and I thought I'd jump on here and see what you think of it.
As is, the accelemymote joystick works being pushed 'harder' the more its tilted. How hard would it be to make it the longer its held in a direction the hard its pushed? This'd work really well for menus... and also to enable nudge style steering/movement in games. May not work for all games... but I'd love to see if it were at all practical.
Something like a second to reach full tilt and then straight back to 0 when origin is reached.
I find that no matter how much effort I put into modifying config I always end up over/understeering in games.

An "acceleration" could be implemented, but i have my doubts it would get around the problem unless... maybe it would work to have a pseudo-analog mode that would oscillate the joystick events between neutral and tilt at a ratio based on the desired amplitude.

This would be extra cool as a mouse emulator in debian or anywhere really

To be honest I haven't played the accelerometer excessively, perhaps it takes a few hours to truly get use to it? Also I can't recall if I changed threshold or not.

Is it possibly to use it for looking, not for moving in Quake 2?
