Description MH 2013-11-27 18:45:05 CET

Description of problem:
SDL1.2.15 has a bug which kills some axis on devices with many axis for example
a PS3 Sixaxis Controller. On 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
stable, happens every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install any Software using SDL 1.2.15 with Joystick support.
2. plug in a PS3 Controller in USB port
3. try to use axis 0 (left stick, left/right movement)

Results:

All Axis work in the KDE input settings but with SDL Input the left stick wont work in left/right movement.


Additional information:
* This was also reported in the mupen64plus bug tracker [1] and according to this it is a bug in SDL 1.2.15 exactly the version Mageia 3 is using (SDL2 should solve this)

SDL2 is a different library, but the arch bug you linked had a link to the upstream bug, which linked a patch they committed in the SDL1.2 branch:
https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1460#c6

I've added that to the package, so let us know if that fixes your issue.

Advisory:
----------------------------------------

This update fixes an issue with joystick axes (SDL#1460).

Thanks.  Once someone has tested this on i586, it can be released.  If nobody has the hardware to test, just general testing of an SDL app should be sufficient since the reported has confirmed that it fixes the reported issue.

Went and turned off the PS3 which turned itself on when unplugging the controller from computer USB :D
