[TuxKart-devel] Problem with Joysticks on Tuxkart for windows

[Brian <ga...@ix...>]

Hello everyone, I did a crude port of TuxKart to work on MSVC and noticed
that the joystick was not working.  The windows control panel was properly
recognizing the joystick.  So I tried the Plib example on for joysticks.  I
found that the demo did not work with my Gravis XTerminator gamepad, but
would work with my old 2 button joystick.  Has anyone else every experienced
this problem.  I definately not an expert on joystick programming, but do
newer joysticks need to use DirectX to access them.  I am using Windows 98,
Plib 1.2,Glut 3.7, MSVC 6.0.
Thanks
Brian Gavin
