That's different. The ones that work on Linux but not at all on Mac OS X
probably use the aforementioned winmm interface. That one is implemented for
Linux (in joystick_linux.c), but not for Mac OS X (joystick_osx.c only contains
the DirectInput implementation).

My suggestion was only regarding getting your joystick to work better with IL-2
(maybe the game has some registry keys that remap the control that wasn't
working for you under Mac OS X, but which does work under Linux).
