Gamepad Look Up/Down Inversion Option

Hmm, no it should just work.. Maybe you made a typo?

Hoorah! I'm not going crazy or being stupid.

I have switched to Mandriva recently and their Nexuiz binary has a additional cfg file in .nexuiz, compared to the Debian package.
The file is called 'autoexec.cfg' . This was not present in Debian version but is in Mandriva. if I add 'joy_sensitivitypitch -0.9' to this file the setting now sticks permanently as expected.

Better late than never. Just gotta practice more so as to elevate beyond 'bottom feeder' status! Lol

What?!? Basicly i'd say ~/.nexuiz is for userfiles only.. no distribution should put stuff there. But well i'm glad it works for you now.

What do you mean by user files exactly? The .<application> folders ARE there for local user preferences of any given application. This is standard practice.
Usually, global preferences are stored in /etc/<application folder> or maybe /usr/share/<application folder>.
In fact a cheap and dirty way of customising new added users is to put the tweaked .<application> folder or file, in to /etc/skel. This is if global file is not readily available or used.

I know there is /etc/skel but in general i hate distribtions that feel like fiddling with 'my' files in ~ ! including adding a autoexec.cfg file in ~/.nexuiz/data .. If i want such a file i'll add it myself!

Yes, that's fine *but* without it my setting wouldn't stick, hence the thread.
If it was present (in Debian) I would have solved this much sooner!

Anyway, it's just a update in case anyone else reading this thread has similar difficulty.
Thanks again.
