SYNOPSIS
========
rejoystick [*-d*]
DESCRIPTION
===========
**rejoystick** is a daemon that converts joystick movement and/or
button presses to X keystroke events. This allows the user to use the
joystick with games that don't have joystick support.
There are two modes of operation for **rejoystick**: the GUI configuration
mode, and daemon mode.
To configure the axes/buttons **rejoystick** will map to keystrokes,
run **rejoystick** with no arguments. This will display a GUI which
you can use to set the mappings. When you're done, exit the program
(close its window). The mappings will be written to *~/.rejoystickrc*.
Although the configuration is graphical, it's recommended to run it
from a terminal (not a desktop launcher), so you can see its output.
To run **rejoystick** as a daemon, run it with the **-d** option. It
will fork to the background, monitor the joystick, and generate
keystroke events according to the configuration in *~/.rejoystickrc*.
To exit **rejoystick**, use "**killall -9 rejoystick**". If you want to
change the mappings, you'll have to kill the daemon and restart it,
since it won't re-read its config file.
OPTIONS
=======
-d
Run as a daemon. Default is to show the config GUI.
