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.

Which bug report is that?

--- Comment #5 from BJDelta bjdelta@infinito.it 2008-03-26 17:57:46 --- Hoping it could be useful you can find as attach a log of a test with "dinput_test.exe.so" and the last 100 lines of the trace of the program joytester.exe with "WINEDEBUG=+relay".
Running "WINEDEBUG=+dinput wine joytester.exe" I get only that result
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element

--- Comment #6 from Vitaliy Margolen vitaliy@kievinfo.com 2008-05-03 13:51:05 --- Registry doesn't work because this is old mmsys joystick driver. It really needs to be rewritten on top of dinput. Pretty much no games using this driver. Most modern programs using DirectInput instead.

--- Comment #7 from Andreas Zitzelsberger winehq@az82.de 2008-06-20 13:27:48 --- The problem also occurs with DirectInput. After some research I found that the problem is that the Linux kernel module joydev shows hat switches as axes (which apparently is the correct way) and not as buttons.
In Windows, hat switches are apparently used as Buttons, so a lot of applications do not support axes in place of buttons.
So it's definitely Wine's fault, it should map hat switch axes to buttons. Fixing this shouldn't be to hard.

--- Comment #11 from John Haywards normandy@web.de 2009-02-28 05:17:25 --- "joytester.exe" works fine for me, POV moves and works. I have trouble with IL2 and Condor though. Both do not recognize the Coolie hat as one, but still as a "slider/axis". My Joystick is an Saitek X52.

Reported fixed, and no complaints since then.
