the problem here is somehow deeper within wine. we store a dataformat as
default with the device, that does not represent the informations sent
to the app. so when an app want to build its own data-format using the
infos there.

so the problem was actually fixed some time ago but the fix got lost
with a huge clean up session. so there is actually currently work
undergoing, that fixes the problem (see the mails about RBR before the
holidays).

imho this already does not make sense..

... but then adding the next "magic" check is wrong. but this is a
gut-feeling and maybe there are already new problems introduced with the
recent patches. for my part i can at least say, that everythings is
working in WINE's head trunk - except RBR with the same problem as
before xmas.

for what i have seen Vitaliy has build the ground to finally make the
same patches for the joysticks as for keyboard and mouse?
