Well, could you check whether Half-Life uses DirectInput or the standard
winmm joystick API to access the joystick? (--debugmsg +dinput etc) Since
these interfaces have not yet been unified in Wine, the winmm API supports
much less than the dinput API. For winmm, currently only the Linux 2.0 and
2.2 joystick interfaces are supported (and which of those to use is
determined by configure), not the Linux 2.4 event-based interface.
