blight sdl + gamepad

hi,

In the config dialogue for blight's input plugin, my gamepad (Sidewinder USB) comes up in the device field, and I can bind buttons on the gamepad, but I can't get the axis to work. When I click on the y or x-axis, if I press up on the gamepad nothing happens, but if i press a button on the gamepad it registers.
I calibrated it with jscalibrator, works fine in there.

thanks

heh, nvm

"Also, for some reason, the js_demo program that comes with FlightGear does not show axis movement unless I unplug and re-plug the joystick back in. (I have hotplug installed and setup, so the kernel just detects the joystick every time its plugged back in.) This in turn, does not let you configure your joystick with fgjs correctly, since it is not detecting the axis movement. So I discovered if you unplug and re-plug the joystick back into the USB port, js_demo and fgjs detect the axis movement."

From the gentoo joystick faq
My bad.
