Unfortunately the "dead zone" is too big. I need some way to reduce this. How can this be done? I've searched through the kernel source, but I didn't find the source files, responsible for creating the event devices for joysticks. Calibrating the jsX device doesn't seem to change anything with the eventX device. Thanks in advance Yours Manuel
