    Greetings all, I've been having an ongoing brainfart.

    I bought a Logitech F310 gamepad a few months back. It works fine, every game automatically maps to the correct 360-style layout, etc.

    After finally going into the config file for Portal and tweaking the joystick sensitivity to something I'm comfortable with, I completely forgot why haven't been playing Portal with a gamepad much anyway: When playing Portal with the gamepad, the blue/orange 'cursor' (what's the correct word again?) in the middle of the screen disappears. I'm not sure why. I have a feeling there's an obvious/simple fix I'm not thinking of. Looking into the configuration options hasn't revealed any obvious checkboxes to look for that I can think of.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance. Much appreciated as usual.


    EDIT: Dammit, sure enough, I found a solution after posting this. Go figure. Welp, nevermind then.
