here is what lshal gives me http://pastebin.com/m34859e8a also starting trying it in the game doesn't work. WINEDEBUG=+dinput wine program.exe 2>&1 | grep find_joydevs gives me no output. also another thing to mention, since I have used the gamepad, in some of my wine games, the character is constantly moving left, as if the "a" key is being pressed. taking the gamepad out doesn't change things.
