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 tried to use a joypad with supertux myself (on an updated Debian > > testing box) and I experienced the issue originally reported by Stefan: > > That means you're using the 0.1.x release, right?

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 ... -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
