Wiimote.2               = KEY_SPACE

Problem

I've setup CWiid on my Ubuntu machine however I cannot seem to assign the direction keys to the keyboard. Wiimote.A and B can be assignment to left and right click fine but I cannot seem to assign them to the keyboard.

When I run the command:

$ gksudo "wminput -c config_file"

It loads fine but the direction keys doesn't do anything.

Does anybody else have this problem?
