hi,
This is the joystick bug email thread from before...
There's a thread on the SDL mailing list about how linux/ubuntu have changed
things... for no good reason it seems.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.sdl/40019
pymike: are you around sometime to help me debug? Otherwise I'll need to
pick up a joystick again (I gave away all of mine when I moved stupidly).
Here's the ubuntu bugs page for SDL... I suggest submitting a bug report
there (if you have already, please send me the bug link?):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/libsdl1.2
That's the best place to report this bug to get it fixed I think. However
we still might be able to implement a work-around if needed.
cheers,
