Gamepad recognised as mouse by Bionicpup32. How to fix?
Hello everyone. I am new to forums in general so sorry if that's already been answered elsewhere but here's the thing. I am running BionicPup32 19.03 and I would like to play games on it with a gamepad but it always picks it up as a mouse. Is there any way to fix this?

Re: Gamepad recognised as mouse
What specific game pad is it?
Make and model?
In a terminal enter this:
modprobe joydev
press enter key.
That loads the driver that should be needed to run the game pad.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected
