Reply To: Switching controllers?

[monkeyangst]

Thank you very much, that’s certainly helpful.

Now I have a second, related question: The designation of controllers as /dev/input/js0 and /dev/input/js1 — where does that come from? Is it based on the order in which they are connected, or what USB port they’re in, or what?

Basically, I’d like to try to set up a situation in which I unplug a controller and plug in a different one, and the system recognizes it and applies the right configuration. First of all, I need to figure out how it’s seeing the controllers in the first place.
