I installed antimicro, which allows me to configure my PS3 controller (USB plugged). While my left joystick's mappings work as expected, it also moves the mouse, which is the "default" behavior for it (i.e. it does that even if I don't have antimicro installed). How can I disable this default behavior and only use the mapping provided by antimicro?

  • I have already tried the solution posted here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/33672/joystick-acts-as-mouse-wont-stop?rq=1 it says I don't have the `xserver-xorg-input-joystick` installed. – Markus Meskanen Apr 01 '18 at 08:29
  • I also found something like this, but it's for Arch and seems like neither my Linux Mint nor Ubuntu has these packages: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119421 – Markus Meskanen Apr 01 '18 at 08:45
  • I think that the package from ARCH page is equivalent of `xserver...joystick`. Did you try adding profile to xorg.conf ala [arch-answer](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=937336#p937336) or [ubuntu-answer](https://askubuntu.com/a/705591/385584) ? – sipral Apr 01 '18 at 11:23

So many people have had this issue and I finally figure it out!

  1. Type xinput into a terminal and find the id for the controller
  2. Type xinput disable ID into the terminal, but replace ID with the actual ID

The controller will no longer control the mouse cursor, but should work just fine for normal usage. I have only tested this method with Steam, but it worked fine there and I have no reason to believe it would be any different elsewhere.
