Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2002 23:51:40 +0200 (MEST) From: Krister Walfridsson Subject: [SDL] src/joystick/bsd/SDL_sysjoystick.c patch The *BSD USB HID joystick code has two serious bugs: 1. If a joystick reports unhandled hid_input usage (for example HUG_RZ or HUG_DIAL), then the last handled value will be overwritten with an arbitrary value. (Fixed in the patch below by adding a default case.) 2. The current code does only handle logical coordinates in the range 0-255, while a big part of available joysticks report -128 - 127. (This is solved in the patch below by first center the range around 0, and then stretch it to the correct range.)

The latest development version of SDL is available via CVS:

cvs -d :pserver:guest@libsdl.org:/home/slouken/libsdl.org/cvs login
# No password, so just hit enter when prompted for a password
cvs -d :pserver:guest@libsdl.org:/home/slouken/libsdl.org/cvs checkout SDL

When you check a fresh copy of SDL out of CVS, you need to generate
the files used by make by running the "autogen.sh" script, which will
run aclocal, automake, autoconf and then run configure.

There is a web interface to cvs at http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi
