If the use of joydev is truely depricated then a "won't fix" is fine I guess, but a lot of applications seem to use this... As I noted you can disable the calibration with something like 'jscal -s 8,0,0,0,0,0...' in order to get 'raw' values via '/dev/input/js0' interface - this might be sufficient for a user to make use of the dial/etc. Thanks, Simon. PS. The irony is that although SDL2.0 use the evdev interface, they show a similar problem due to integer math in their calibration code/coefs... ho hum off to patch I guess :-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
