Discussion and Improvement of Wine's Linux Force Feedback implementation

[Elias Vanderstuyft]

Hi,


In the past few weeks I've been reviewing Wine's Linux Force Feedback
implementation. I annotated questions and proposals for improvement
and bundled them in a file "Improvements.txt".
Now, I think it's time to post my results, before someone begins to
work on the dinput files I started from (untouched since
wine-1.7.11-206-g82b3813).

The reason why I don't send this to wine-patches, is because it is
more a review and discussion, than a set of actual diff-generated
patch files.

Because of the rather massive amount of text I've written, I decided
to split them up in separate mails in subjects, each containing 3
questions/proposals on average:
Subjects [11]
-------------
- Joystick control panel program [2]
- Linux effect status management [3]
- Linux effect parameter: start delay [1]
- Linux effect parameter: periodic effect's phase [1]
- Linux effect parameters: time parameters [3]
- Linux effect: conditional effect's parameters [2]
- Linux effect: axes [1]
- Linux effect direction [7]
- Linux effect parameters (global) [6]
- Linux joystick initialization [1]
- Debug message fixes/additions [6]

I'll send them with the prefix "[RFC x/11] Linux FF: <subject>".
Am I allowed to send this?


Thanks,

Elias

Yeah, absolutely. I've already gone through around 40% of your
document and written some comments. They'll be much easier to discuss
if the subjects are split up. I'll send them as replies when you get
the smaller mails off to wine-devel.
