[sdljava-users] joystick events without framebuffer?

[C W <wa...@ya...>]

Greetings,
  I just started trying to use sdljava, and I am interested in the joystick interface. The test code SDLJoystickTest.java works fine, but I'd like to know if I can interface with a joystick without setting up a framebuffer.

  If I comment out the lines associated with the framebuffer variable, then I get an SDLException when SDLEvent.waitEvent() is called. Is this the expected behavior? If so, is there a way I can use the joystick interface and events without having the framebuffer.

Thanks,
Chris

Greetings,

I think you should be able to but I havn't verified this.

What you want to do is call SDL_INIT with only SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK.

Have a look here:
    http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_5fInit

Have not tried this myself though.  Let me know if it works.  I'm no sure if
you are supposed to be able to do this -- but I don't see why  not.  If you
are able to make it work with a simple C program then it should also be
possible from sdljava.

fix sdljava so it works.
