[Plib-devel] [PATCH] Joystick code under Linux

[Mathias <Mat...@gm...>]

Hi,

The current cvs' code does not detect which joystick implementation it shou=
ld=20
use. The current implementation always uses the 'jsLinuxOld' code which doe=
s=20
not work with current Linux kernels.

The js-linux.diff checks again against JS_VERSION defined in linux/joystick=
=2Eh.

The second patch removes any deadband settings done in the joystick kernel=
=20
driver. Since plib does its own deadband handling I think that this is a go=
od=20
idea to do.
At least my thrustmaster topgun joystick/thrust combo works much better wit=
h=20
this patch. Without, the kernel driver introduces an unrecoverable deadband=
=20
plateau in the area of 50% thrust, which is pretty senseless to have on the=
=20
thrust axis. Even on the other axis I prefer to have exactly *one* deadband=
=20
parameter. Since plib has it's own ones, only take those ones.

Can somebody apply them please?
