Hello everyone,
what's the status of this bug?
I tried to use a joypad with supertux myself (on an updated Debian
testing box) and I experienced the issue originally reported by Stefan:
Warning: Could not open joystick -1.
The Simple DirectMedia error that occured was:
There are 1 joysticks available
with supertux basically ignoring any input coming from the joypad.
However, after reading Pierre's reply, I tried with
$ supertux -j 0
and it seemed to work, even though there's no in-game configuration
menu for joystick/joypad input.
By the way, I see that there's the --joymap XAXIS:YAXIS:A:B:START
command-line option, but it's not clear to me what I should specify
as its argument... Is anyone able to clarify?
Then I tried again without the -j 0 command-line option
$ supertux
and it seemed to be magically able to find and use my joypad.
Awkward... Why was it unable to find it before?!?
Anyway, I am not sure I understand what Pierre's patch is supposed to
do.
Has it already been applied?
If not, why?
Has it already been forwarded upstream?
If not, why?
Is there any chance that supertux gets a proper in-game configuration
menu for joypad input?
Please let me know, thanks for your time.

I've no idea, because I don't have a joystick to confirm this bug
and/or test any patches (hence I've just left this sitting here in the
BTS when I first adopted supertux).

That means you're using the 0.1.x release, right? Can you please
upgrade your supertux packages to 0.3.x in experimental and see if
this is still reproducible?

AFAIK, no and no. Development has shifted onto supertux's 0.3 branch,
so I'd appreciate it if someone with a joystick can review, update,
and test the patch with 0.3.x before forwarding it upstream. :)

No idea, sorry.

Well, I happen to have a joypad: it has sat on a shelf for a long time,
but now I am beginning to see what I can do with it under GNU/Linux (at
last!).

I upgraded to supertux/0.3.3-5 from experimental and, during these
days, I have tested it a bit.
Wow! The game was improved in many many respects: I am really impressed!
Kudos to the upstream developers!
There are some issues (which I will describe in separate bug reports)
and the program spits out lots of warnings to stderr such as:
[WARNING] /tmp/buildd/supertux-0.3.3/src/video/texture_manager.cpp:52
Texture '/images/tiles/water/waves-trans-2.png' not freed
but, overall, the game is much better than before, my joypad is
recognized like a charm, it works correctly and there's an in-game
joystick input configuration menu.

I can now reply to myself: there is indeed an in-game configuration
menu for joystick/joypad input in supertux/0.3.3-5 and it seems to work.
As far as I can tell, I am under the impression that this bug report
may be closed as fixed in supertux/0.3.3-5 ...

I see that the upstream bug tracker requires an account: sorry, I
cannot register an account for the upstream bug tracker of each Debian
package I use...
Moreover, the Debian BTS is far better than the vast majority of other
bug trackers.
