Summary: Joypad not recognised, occasional unhandled exception
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.1.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-directx-dinput
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I have a playstation (PSX) to USB converter that shows up as /dev/input/event1
This is recognised and used by zsnes, fceu, and epsxe (everything I've tried it
with)  However, using wine (0.9.1 from your unofficial debian repositories) the
joystick does nothing.   This is with GTA3.

I was advised to run wine with WINEDEBUG=+dinput.  On doing so, Gta3 would
immediately change resolutions, and then sit for a long time. It continues to
display the desktop, but grabs the mouse.(if I move the mouse onto window
decorations at this point, it has an unhandled exception, but I suspect that's a
different bug)  At some point between 30 seconds and never the game starts
pretty much as normally, but still without joystick support.

I can send you one of these trace files, they're quite large but compress very
nicely.  Let me know if I can give you any more information.
