https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=250724 --- Comment #3 from Vladimir Kondratyev <wulf@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Alex S from comment #2) > X11 itself lacks any support for joysticks, > it only knows (and able to present to applications) > keyboard and pointer devices. Actually, X11 does know of joystick presence. See udev autoconfiguration backend sources: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/blob/master/config/udev.c#L254 But... FreeBSD does not have sysfs and most likely will never have, so libudev is a shim which uses libmagic-alike heuristics taken from xf86-input-evdev to detect device type and type tag based on device's evdev descriptor: https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/libudev-devd/blob/master/udev-utils.c#L410 It is highly likely that this logic was not ever tested and just does not work in joystick part. So we can try to fix it or e.g. steal from alternative udev-shim library: https://github.com/jiixyj/libudev-fbsd/blob/master/src/libudev.c#L245 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
