Summary: Joystick POV (hatswitch) doesn't work Product: Wine Version: 0.9.58. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: bjdelta@infinito.it
This bug was already reported in the past and assumed solved with version 0.9.43 but it's still present. Joystick hatswitch is seen by wine as 2 axis and not as a POV, despite any modification in the registry of windows (as suggested here http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys ). The bug can be verified using a little windows utility "joytester" (available for download here http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Joystick-Tester.sht... ) and therefore it's not related to a specific application. My joystick is Microsoft SideWinder Precision 2 connected via USB and the POV is correctly detected under linux (UBUNTU 7.10) and tested with "jscalibrator". This bug prevents from using any kind of game under wine that needs the use of an hatswitch, especially flight simulation programs.
