I have been trying to give feed back on a different bug relating to a dual CPU
machine and polling for joystick devices (bug 8765).
Due to this problem, I am still having to patch the wine sources. I spent some
more time looking at exactly what was taking place in the kernel, and I believe
that the problem is not with the joydev.c, but rather it is with the hid
devices:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c;h=d746bf8284dd31994999916a72cab2f2c753b8a0;hb=HEAD#l987
I don't think this is a bug with either wine or with the kernel, however, the
short answer is that I need to "hack" wine before I can get this game to run.
It would not surprise me if other people had similar experiences.
At this point, a possible solution would be to add mapping functionality, so
that the device name returned by the kernel can be mapped to a different
identifier without requiring source code change.
Is something like this feasible?
