joydev

joydev

This system extension provides the joydev kernel module for Talos Linux.

The joydev module provides the Linux joystick interface at /dev/input/js*. This interface is used by the browser Gamepad API and legacy joystick applications. Game streaming software such as Sunshine relies on joydev to translate evdev gamepad events into the joystick API format expected by streaming clients like Moonlight.

Usage

Enable the extension in your Talos machine config:

machine:
  kernel:
    modules:
      - name: joydev

Compatibility

Requires CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV=m in the Talos kernel configuration.
