Dear all, I would like to get your opinions regarding joystick/gamepad support in wayland. What's the desirable way to support joystick/gamepad both in wayland and in linux ? Plz kindly let me know if there is any previous discussion about this. :)
Linux supports both joydev(e.g. /dev/input/js0) and evdev(e.g. /dev/input/event0) for joysticks/gamepads. As far as I know, many games in linux open js node directly within the process itself and read/handle joystick events by itself. Under Xorg window system, without having X events and X input extension events, why are the games opening joystick nodes directly ? Are there any reason for doing that ? Are there any performance issues ? Otherwise, is it originated from the lack of X events for joystick? Lastly, what the most desirable way to support joysticks/gamepads in wayland ? Thank you for reading and for your response in advance.
