I don't have an Xbox 360 controller myself, so I haven't looked at this in much detail. Microsoft has a reference for xinput at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee416996(VS.85).aspx. From what I can remember, the API itself is very simple and shouldn't require a detailed understanding of other parts of Wine. The generic joystick support is in dinput. According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee417014(VS.85).aspx, dinput doesn't support some features that are in xinput. Since we don't like to add new features to a windows dll, I don't think xinput should use dinput. Also, I worry that you might not get a consistent button mapping between operating systems, and that you may need to use some more direct interface to be sure you get it right. But I could be wrong. As far as I know, no one is working on this, so by all means go for it. -- Vincent Povirk
