Summary: Joystick name is different to that reported by Windows. Product: Wine Version: 0.9.34. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-dinput AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: richard_corden@hotmail.com
The name returned in the "tszProductName" field of the DIDEVICEINSTANCEA structure contains the manufacturers name as well as the model of the joystick and so is not the same as it is on windows.
For Example:
Real World Golf searches for it's specific joystick using the name of the product. On windows the returned name is 'Game-Trak V1.3'. Wine reports the name of the joystick as 'In2Games Ltd. Game-Trak V1.3', ie. including the manufacturer's name.
