Re: [Directxwine-users] Directsound - usb

[Shane V. <sha...@ya...>]

Jean,
I think that is your problem, he is trying to access
the joystick directly through the USB driver and
unless he uses the opensource usblib driver then it
won't work.  Linux accesses it through the standard
HID driver and creates a device driver
"/dev/input/js0" so any Linux program can access it
the same way they would access any other
gamepad/joystick.  Maybe if he was treating it like a
standard windows game controller and using the Windows
gamecontroller manager Wine could handle it.

Please note that I'm not an expert on this subject so
the information up above may not be 100% accurate, I
will do more research this weekend and see if I can't
give you better input.
Regards,
Shane
