Work[ed|ing] on improving joystick support (mainly on force-feedback) with the help of DanielRemenak.

Mainly swapping from one bug to the next when triggering one, or when it annoys me enough.

TODO

• Use DIEFFECT structure in dinput/effect_linuxinput.c to store effect configuration sent by game

• Implement LinuxInputEffectImpl_GetEffectStatus (done but I cannot test it: requires kernel support to do anything).

Annoyance list

• Mouse too slow in Black & White 2

• Joystick

  • Axes mapping incorrect in X-Wing Alliance

  • POV doesn't work in X-Wing Alliance

  • Force Feedback

    • Updating effects fails in MS Flight Sim 2000

    • Excessive effect magnitude overflows signed value, reversing effect

    • Joystick autocenter always enabled

    • FFConst DirectX SDK sample moves erraticaly (DIEFF_CARTESIAN coordinates conversion error)

• Freespace sound thread crash

• MS Flight Sim 2000 doesn't display a correct joystick name, preventing it from loading default button mappings
• No keyboard in X-Wing Alliance hangar (prevents from starting missions)
• No keyboard in Beetle Crazy Cup "create user" window - except for the Esc key !
• Generally poor handling of multi-display in wine, especially if monitors have different resolutions
• In some cases, applications are only refreshed when they enter a top-left corner of the screen (resolution change issue). Also happens (-ed ?) with different resolutions on 2 monitors.
