This allows the user to use the joystick with games that don't have joystick support. There are two modes of operation for **rejoystick**: the GUI configuration mode, and daemon mode. To configure the axes/buttons **rejoystick** will map to keystrokes, run **rejoystick** with no arguments. This will display a GUI which you can use to set the mappings. When you're done, exit the program (close its window). The mappings will be written to *~/.rejoystickrc*. Although the configuration is graphical, it's recommended to run it from a terminal (not a desktop launcher), so you can see its output. To run **rejoystick** as a daemon, run it with the **-d** option. It will fork to the background, monitor the joystick, and generate keystroke events according to the configuration in *~/.rejoystickrc*. To exit **rejoystick**, use "**killall -9 rejoystick**". If you want to change the mappings, you'll have to kill the daemon and restart it, since it won't re-read its config file. OPTIONS ======= -d Run as a daemon. Default is to show the config GUI.
