In console-land, all three major consoles allow you to forcibly change your controller numbers by pressing or holding the home button and choosing some option to reconfigure your controller, so there's certainly good precedent for it being handled by the OS. Also worth remembering is that all three major consoles have controller number LEDs from 1 to 4. It would be nice if we could assume that the controller indicator LED matched the pad_index whenever possible. -Rick- _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
