Key mapping with GizmoD and Nostromo Speedpad n50

**paraplegicpanda** · March 25th, 2010

I've got an old Nostromo n50 speedpad that I decided I wanted to try to get to work with WoW. I have looked into the Nostromo Linux drivers and Pystromo, but I decided to dip my toes into Python with Gizmo Daemon because I should
be able to use it for other gamepads in the future. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is but any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I've done so far:

Installed GizmoD from Synaptic.
Read through the tutorials and HOWTOs on the website.
Used gizmod -g to record the input from my Nostromo n50.
Attempted to modify a GizmoD map file to do what I wanted.

Up until the last part everything has been going fine. Here's the mapping of my input keys:

Code:

The last four keys are commented out in my map file for the moment since I'm not quite sure how to do them. The map file is attached to this post. As you will see from the map file, I just want keys 01-10 to translate into my normal keyboard keys 1-9 and 0. The DPAD I want to translate into a normal WASD for gaming. I'm kind of stumped as to where to go from here. I run gizmod from a terminal, but it doesn't seem to work.

Once again, I appreciate any help!
