Hello,

I've been using wine to play X3:TC under Fedora 14/x86_64 without any major
issues (beyond a number of known issues).
I've upgraded my workstation to Fedora 15 and initially all worked just fine.
However, since yesterday, I can no longer use my joystick under X3:TC.
1. Somehow the axis/POV mapping is all wrong, the viewport is locked to the
bottom right position and I cannot use the POV or keyboard to re-center it.
2. All the other joystick axis (yaw/pitch) seem to be broken as well.
3. The throttle axis seems to be working just fine. (It's a joystick / throttle
combo).
4. The keyboard seems to be generating multiple keyboard events per keypress.
5. The joystick has a "profile" selection knob - which triggers an always
"pressed" joystick button 11, (profile 1), button 12 (profile 2), button 13
(profile 3). Switching profiles changes the direction in which the POV is
locked.
6. If I disconnect the joystick, the POV re-centers, and the keyboard returns
to normal operation.
7. I checked the native version of X3 Reunion (Official LGP release) and
everything seems to be working just fine. (So no kernel / hardware problem).
8. +dinput log attached.

P.S. When playing the Linux version of X3:R I developed a library [1] that uses
pre-loading and _open/_read/_close symbol replacement to modify certain aspects
of my X52 joystick (E.g. mask/disable certain axis/buttons, capture
axis/buttons and turn them into X11 keypress/release events, etc).
Among other things, I used this library to mask out the problematic profile
buttons and turn the POV axis (which behave much more like buttons) into X11
key events. 
Can I somehow use the same pre-loading / symbol replacement under wine? It will
help my locate the source of the problem?
