PS2 controller with Linux?

That title probably made no sense, sorry <_<

Well, the problem is....I can't use my playstation 2 controller with PCSX2 in Linux Ubuntu Feisty 7.04.

Yes, its installed, and everything works perfectly, I have a PS2 controller > USB adaptor, and Ubuntu seems to recognize that its a joystick.

However both plugins that came with 0.9.3 don't work on my controller, I managed to get it set-up on Windows, but what I tried there doesn't seem to work...

So I guess what I'm asking is...is such a thing possible? What magical plugin would I have to use...or what else would I have to do?

Thanks. I've been prowling around the forums looking for an answer, it's either well hidden, not there, or I am a poor at looking.

By the way, thanks for PCSX2, It's great

Here is your link:

Linux gamepad

Just follow all the directions. You will need to run jscalibrator or something like that to find out what your joystick is set to.
Source diving is necessary, but both of them read the forums, so you might get support directly. Enjoy!
