[Scummvm-devel] Joystick code

[Max Horn]

Yo folks,

I wonder if we should disable the joystick code in the SDL backend, or 
at the very least, turn it off by default and provide a command line 
(and config file) option to enable it. Rationale: lots of problems are 
caused by it, at least on Windows, including crashes, stuck mouse 
cursor, "wandering" mouse cursor etc. OTOH, I am aware of anybody 
actually using it. Of course that doesn't mean you, dear joystick 
users, aren't out there, which is why making this an option would be 
preferable (although slightly more work).

Something similiar wiht regards to the mouse emulation via keyboard: it 
bugs hell out of me when I use the arrow keys in the GUI and they move 
the mouse. Of course mouse emulation will be useful for some people, 
but I don't think the majority is even aware of it, so we could also 
just disable it by default. And add an option for it.


Comments?
