I've no idea, because I don't have a joystick to confirm this bug and/or test any patches (hence I've just left this sitting here in the BTS when I first adopted supertux). > I tried to use a joypad with supertux myself (on an updated Debian > testing box) and I experienced the issue originally reported by Stefan: That means you're using the 0.1.x release, right?

AFAIK, no and no. Development has shifted onto supertux's 0.3 branch, so I'd appreciate it if someone with a joystick can review, update, and test the patch with 0.3.x before forwarding it upstream. :) > Is there any chance that supertux gets a proper in-game configuration > menu for joypad input?
