Attachments:	patch for wxGTK to correct joystick device new ebuild for wxGTK

Description Andreas Volz 2005-06-01 14:18:34 UTC

I attached a patch which solves the problem with Joysticks that are located in /dev/input/js*

The patch simply search first for /dev/js* and then /dev/input/js*

This solves the device problem, but there's also an problem that axis aren't working. There's yet an open bug for this problem on wxWindows. Try it and see if this works for your systems. If not wait for my next patch or add it...

I'll check this out before adding 2.6.1 to portage, which I've been testing a
couple days. I did notice this in the wxpython ChangeLog for 2.6.0.1:
"Applied patch #1213066 correct device names for Joystick in Linux."

The exact same patch from Andreas Volz made it into wxWidgets-2.6.1, see
http://cvs.wxwidgets.org/viewcvs.cgi/wxWidgets/src/unix/joystick.cpp.diff?r1=1.6&r2=1.7
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1213066&group_id=9863&atid=309863

At least wxGTK-2.6.1 is stable on all supported arches, this bug can be closed as outdated.
