Natively, I can use the Logitech device driver that lets you change
every parameter of the joystick and even map buttons to keyboard keys.
(It's an awesome joystick BTW, if you like the XBox controller)

Obviously, these drivers aren't going to work in Wine. I read some stuff
about registry entries you can make to remap a joystick axis, but it
doesn't seem to work. I even looked at the DirectInput source code and
did what I thought should work, but it doesn't. I just wonder if anyone
has had any luck re-mapping a joystick in the registry?
I know there is a native Linux version of Rune, but I don't have a copy
and don't plan on trying to obtain one either, because it runs
flawlessly in Wine except for this little joystick annoyance,
Thanks,
John
