Subject: [patch] SDL-1.2.5 + FreeBSD joystick axes, hat fixes
Hello again! When I sent in some SDL fixes last December, I found out
they'd already been fixed in the CVS version. This time, I checked the
repository before bugging you. =)
I'm using SDL-1.2.5 on a FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE system, and in the course
of getting my multi-analog-axis USB controller (with a hat switch!)
working with d2x-sdl -- the SDL port of the Descent 2 engine -- I came
across a few problems:
1) The second analog stick is reported as a slider in one direction, and
"Rz" in the other. SDL was ignoring the Rz axis, so I added Rx/Ry/Rz to
the set of things SDL considers to be axes.
2) After the above change, the set of JOYAXE_* axes for my gamepad was
{0,1,3,7}; however, d2x-sdl expects the axes to be contiguously numbered
from 0, which seems like a pretty reasonable expectation, rather than
having to scan the entire space of axes that SDL may or may not have.
So, I added a table lookup which maps the JOYAXE_* axis numbers to 0,1,...
in the order they're detected by SDL_SYS_JoystickOpen(), when reporting
them to the application. I also added a function "usage_to_joyaxe()"
which maps the USB HUG_* usage values to JOYAXE_values, since the repeated
case statements testing for HUG_* were getting out of hand.
3) The BSD joystick driver had no hat support, so I added it. It looks
like our USB library can only support one hat switch per device, which
makes life easy.
The patch against SDL-1.2.5 which implements these changes is at:
http://www.caida.org/~jabrown/patches/sdl-1.2.5-bsdhat.diff
After applying, SDL's "testjoystick" reports all activity from my gamepad
correctly, and d2x works too (though it needed some other fixes).
Moving on...
There is also a problem with slightly different USBHID library interfaces
on different versions of FreeBSD. I wasn't going to mention this since the
FreeBSD port for SDL-1.2.5 (and not SDL itself) was doing the FreeBSD
version-specific patching, so I e-mailed the port maintainer with this
change. However, I see that you've incorporated the FreeBSD
version-checking stuff into the CVS version of SDL, so now it's relevant
for you too.
The problem is, the FreeBSD #if tests don't work right for FreeBSD
4.6.2-RELEASE. There may be other versions with this problem, but I've
only tested 4.6.2-R. The following patch against your latest CVS version
fixes this:

I hope this is all useful to you. I've been getting myself dizzy playing
Descent 2 with it, all morning!

P.S. My USB controller is a Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Analog 2. That's
probably irrelevant, but I threw it in for completeness.
