Fixed crash in joystick handling code.  Newer 2.6 kernels add an additional 'resolution' field to input_absinfo.  Note that we don't use that structure since we want to have enough space for the values even when building with an older kernel.

src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c has some problems:

- test_bit() might break with strict aliasing
- test_bit() assumes array is Uint32 but its actually "unsigned long"
  on 64bit systems sizeof(long) != sizeof(Uint32).
- the keybit array is too small
- the arrays are unitialized so the number of
  detected buttons is quite random

It looks like newer kernels do the logical device mapping in the driver,
so this code crashes.  I don't have one of these nor do I have remote
access to debug this, so I'm disabling the logical mapping for now.

Fixed haptic subsystem on linux 2.6.28 by lowering the EV_IsJoystick check (seems like some stuff was changed).  Shouldn't break anything with earlier versions.  Might need to be more robust if false positives show up.

Subject: [SDL] [patch] remove limits.h hack from linux joystick code

there is a small hack in the current linux joystick code to work around broken
cross-compilers by including more than one limits.h ... at the very least,
this is not arm-specific by any means

i'm of the opinion that libsdl should not contain such things ... people
should be fixing their cross-compilers, not bloating other's source trees

patch attached to clean the cruft

Subject: SDL Patch

Hey, Ryan.

I submitted the following patch about a year ago. It's just a simple
patch for the linux port, to make multiple joysticks each appear to SDL
as their own device, if they are on the same USB port (specifically,
these guys
<http://www.consoleplus.co.uk/product_info.php?pName=super-joybox-5-quad-joypad-converter>,

which allow 4 Playstation2 controllers to be accessed via a single USB
port). Without this patch, SDL pretty much drops the ball, and reports
that there are 4 joysticks available when less than that number  are
plugged in.

My work built upon the work of another person with the same device. When
I submitted the patch to the list, he tested it, but it didn't work for
him, so the patch was never accepted. Maybe about 3 times in the past
year, I've tried to email the guy, to see if he couldn't run my new
version, complete with debug code to diagnose the problem he was having.
He never got back  to me.

So, I'm attaching the patch. I wish I knew why it didn't work for him,
but I've been using it for the last year with no problems. Let me know
if you need any more information, or have any ideas as to how I could
test it. I'd like to see it in the tree, but I want to make sure it works.

-Chris

Make sure every source file includes SDL_config.h, so the proper system

Subject: [SDL] [PATCH] ML-8866 PS2->USB converter

This converter seems to go by several names --  Super Dual Box, Dual
USB Joypad, and who knows what else.  Also branded differently with
different colour cases, etc.  But it seems to all be the same
internals.  It is a common converter used for StepMania, with several
posts Googleable trying to make it work in Linux.  I got mine
yesterday and wanted to play stepmania, so I went ahead and made a
crude patch for libsdl to split this baby into two logical joysticks.

A couple notes about the patch:

This patch works well for two dance mats hooked up and playing
stepmania, however the mapping of the other buttons may be off.  I
have no joystick which uses all the buttons the converter reports, so
I have no way of testing them.

The name I used 0925:8866 which is the USB ID, and what SDLjoytest-GL
reported is the name, even though lsusb shows Wisegroup, Ltd MP-8866
Dual USB Joypad, and the existing virtual joystick mapping uses the
Wisegroup... name.  Not sure why the discrepency.

I'm not subscribed to this mailing list, so please CC me on any
comments to this.

Subject: [SDL] [Patch] WiseGroup MP-8800 / MP-8866 (PS2 Joystick)

In the current cvs version, SDL doesn't handle these Playstation2
controller => USB adapters correctly, in linux.

It will always assume that the maximum number of joysticks (2 in the
case of the MP-8866, 4 in the case of the 8800) are plugged in. This is
bad not only because it allows SDL to exaggerate the number of logical
joysticks, but primarily because the joystick axes are mapped
incorrectly, all over the place, such that the devices are effectively
unusable unless you have the maximum number of joysticks plugged in.

My changes to src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c build on another's
previous work (which was a special case for this very joystick,
actually), and fix both of these problems, as well as making the current
code a little more general, to allow for others to more easily drop in
code for quirky joysticks such as these.

I've tested this code under 2.6.7 as well as 2.4.24... Both work as
advertised (provided you load the JOYDEV linux code as a module,
otherwise they won't work at all, new code or old, but that's another
issue entirely).

Though this sounds horribly formal, you have my permission to distribute
all of my work on this issue under the LGPL. So there.

Subject: [SDL] [PATCH] Linux joystick evdev axis count fix

The event device configuration under Linux does not check the returned
ioctl value when reading the axis information. This means extra
undefined axes are returned.

Note, in EV_HandleEvents, the default for case EV_ABS is to return any
axis information which is fine as we have already checked for all valid
absolute axes. No new axes should be returned after opening the device.

(Unless, of course, the evdev allows closing and reassigning a new
device while in use and I can't believe that happens.)

From: David MacCormack
Subject: [SDL] Linux joystick patch

I recently got myself a PS2 -> USB converter (a super joybox 5).  It
accepts 4 PSX/PS2 controllers.  It's implemented as a HID, which is nice
because it doesn't require its own driver, but the problem is that it's
implemented as a *single* HID -- that is, it shows up as a single
joystick with 19 axes, 4 hats, and 48 buttons.  This poses a problem for a
number of apps which use SDL (stella, fce ultra, zsnes, to name a few) and
see only a single (physical) joystick even though there are really 4
(logical) joysticks.  There are a number of these types of devices on the
market, and I've seen others post messages (in the zsnes forum, for
example) with the same problem, so I came up with what I think is a pretty
generic solution.

I patched src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystic.c to include support for
logical joysticks; basically, it's a static array and supporting functions
that map a single physical joystick to multiple logical joysticks.  The
attached patch has the new code.  It's wrapped inside #ifndef
statements so that you can get the old behavior if you want.

You've misread the code. :-/

For coef[0] and coef[1], it is (values[2]+values[1]) / 2 and then add
or subtract values[4] to the answer.
