In testdyngl.c the event type was being anded (&) with SDL_KEYDOWN and if the result was none zero the program was quiting. This is very weird because it was working earlier this week. I added some more trace code to SDL_x11events.c In SDL_X11opengl.c I modified SDL_GL_GetSwapInterval() so that it returns a pretty good value even if you have the SGI swap extension instead of the MESA swap extension. I just saved the value you set and return it too you.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_JoystickGetAxis \- Get the current state of an axis
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBSint16 \fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Joystick *joystick, int axis\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP returns the current state of the given \fBaxis\fR on the given \fBjoystick\fR\&.
.PP
On most modern joysticks the X axis is usually represented by \fBaxis\fR 0 and the Y axis by \fBaxis\fR 1\&. The value returned by \fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP is a signed integer (-32768 to 32768) representing the current position of the \fBaxis\fR, it maybe necessary to impose certain tolerances on these values to account for jitter\&. It is worth noting that some joysticks use axes 2 and 3 for extra buttons\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns a 16-bit signed integer representing the current position of the \fBaxis\fR\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
