Hi, I have a problem with gimx. I have two computers on the gimx amd processor running at all times with no lag, and the other (laptop) with Intel gimx works up to 5 minutes, then jams and nothing is happening, I have to turn it on again. How can I work on a laptop? I installed ubuntu 12.04. The same version as on the other computer. Sorry, google translator.

What are the kernel & bluez version on all computers?
You can get them with the following commands:

I am having this problem too, but i'm on Ubuntu 11.10, 3.0.0-32-generic, Bluez 4.96. GIMX compiled from the source.
I tried to install older packages of bluez but didn't solve.
After a while playing GIMX freezes e keep repeating the action you were performing. The dongle is still connected, if the terminal option is checked there is input reception but no transmission.

Does the mouse reappear after the freeze?

The GIMX disconnects after 2 ~ 3 minutes after the freezing. (Please reconnect the controller message).
ps: Even if i close GIMX, it only shows the disconnect message after the 2 or 3 minutes.
I got the same freezing issue on Ubuntu 12.04.
My crashes with set flush timeout to 16 too. I tryied to undo the issue 170 changes, (i saw there was same flush timeout modification on the code) but it didn't work.
GIMX 0.51 works fine, so i think it's not my bt dongle.
I'm in a notebook too, i disabled my touchpad.

I'm using GIMX from the source, and in this tutorial :
http://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Dev ... t_on_Linux
There is a step, that resulted in permission denied. With "sudo -i" i managed to create the rules but there was one line that resulted in a non exitent directory:
Code: Select all
Set Input Device Permissions (required since r1277)
One way to give read permissions to GIMX is to create a special group, change /dev/input/event* group ownership to that group, and then make the gimx binaries setgid to that group.
chgrp input /dev/input/event* /dev/input/js*
Is there something related? But i can compile and actually play without this step for 1 ~ 2 minutes.

No, there's nothing wrong, I guess there's no joystick connected to your PC.

Hey i got it!!
I got GIMX from the source but didn't installed it yet, got and replaced the old files codes related to Flush timeout changes on issue 170. Like:
http://code.google.com/p/diyps3controll ... 2cap_con.c
http://code.google.com/p/diyps3controll ... 2cap_con.h
Then i installed GIMX, and it worked.
My bt dongle doesn't support a forced flush timeout, i don't know why, it crashes after a while.
