The trackball of the modded USB Panther XL uses a Optical Mouse in place of the stock Panther XL trackball joystick axis’s.  Because the Panther XL Joysticks Trackball Axis are no longer part of the Joystick Device, the trackball settings need to be removed from the Game Configs.  The Trackball of the modded Panther XL is now a true pointing device not needing any specialized support in games !

Without changing the users configs to remove stock trackball settings, the player will most often spin rapidly in the game !

To turn off the stock Panther XL Trackball the user simply needs to edit the config files as follows:
