[Wine] Re: Oblivion dinput8 issues

[Sagorn]

Well, running with WINEDEBUG=+dinput seems to have explained what was going wrong.  The relevant section is shown below.

Linux seems to be under the impression that my keyboard is also a joystick, and Wine doesn't know how to handle this.  Moving/deleting /dev/input/event2 and /dev/input/js0 will allow me to run Oblivion with only minor issues, but the folder is reset whenever the computer is booted up.  It looks (to my untrained eye) like this is really a Linux/driver problem that I have to sort out rather than a Wine problem.

Thanks for your help
