Hello Thanks for your response - I figured a way out already. But maybe others are interested too. My distro is an weekly updated Gentoo GNU/Linux uname -arm: Linux enigma 3.8.13-gentoo-th #1 SMP Fri Jun 14 23:05:09 CEST 2013 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux First thing is that I got remapping the axis via the HKCU DirectInput key working - it works exacly as specified here: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=14899 The string given has to match completly match the one which can be found via debugging: WINEDEBUG=+dinput wine game.exe &> out.log However this doesnt work on very old wine inst. such as: 0.9.19 - I managed to get such a string as well but the last part of it seemed like garbage (some wired multi-char/byte issue?) You asking why Im using 0.9.19? Actually Im not using complete 0.9.19 but only dinput.dll.so from 0.9.19 in an 1.5.13 installation. I know it sound crazy, but with this I got 'X-Wing Alliance' running for good (without this old dinput.dll the keyboard will not work!) So I made up my mind what else I could do, so I continued to do an hack and got busy making myself familiar with winejoystick.drv sources - actually I just disabled the polling (not actually polling but you get my drift) in joystick.c for Z/Throttle axis. This works out - the game is not anymore responding to these false signals. A lil' bit dirty solution but if it works .... the major problem is still the cheap joystick model and driver issue. As this joystick has absolutly no Z Axis (just rudder). So I also wrote to the guy who has written the driver (hid_dr.c) - maybe I'll get an response. regards, Georg Am 30.07.2013 01:10, schrieb Porter Smith: > On 07/29/2013 10:24 AM, Georg Bege wrote: >> Good day to you wine users >> >> I've following problem, I've a cheap joystick which is recognized >> as DragonRise Inc. - however many of them are I guess. >> It's some china stuff which is each time labeled different but almost >> always the same device (or so I've heard). >> >> Everything works great except the joystick is recognized as being 7 axis >> one - I really dont know why it does this. >> It has X/Y of course and an rudder + some buttons. >> It's not 7 axis nor do I need 7 axis, I only need 2 in fact - >> now the very specific issue, the 3rd Axis somehow is tied to the >> 0(X)-Axis - it changes if I change the X Axis. >> And somehow it results in problem with an game I got running on wine and >> want to play (X-Wing Alliance). >> >> So what I really want to do is being the joystick recognized as 2 Axis >> one OR override wine's behaviour with 2 Axis. >> >> Any ideas? >> >> regards, >> Georg >> >> > George, > Could you possibly supply us with error information?
