Sam Lantinga d135c076 2021-07-08T13:22:41 Added SDL_GameControllerSendEffect() and SDL_JoystickSendEffect() to allow applications to send custom effects to the PS4 and PS5 controllers See testgamecontroller.c for an example of a custom PS5 trigger effect
Sjoerd Simons de4ba6eb 2021-05-27T12:41:41 Ignore the device version for Atari vcs controllers At least on bluetooth the guid user the version reported by the bluetooth device. Which for Atari vcs controllers is the firmware version. However the mapping will stay the same regardless of firmware version, so ignore the version entirely to avoid needing a new mapping entry for each firmware version.

Paul Cercueil 1542300a 2021-03-24T22:37:08 joystick: linux: Avoid checking for gamepad mapping each frame The information whether a specific joystick can be used as a gamepad is not going to change every frame, so we can cache the result into a variable. This dramatically reduces the performance impact of SDL2 on small embedded devices, since the code path that is now avoided was quite heavy. Fixes #4229.

Ludovico de Nittis 8d43f45a 2021-02-16T14:13:30 Don't use udev for joystick enumeration if running in a container If we are running in a container, like Flatpak[1] or pressure-vessel[2], it's likely that we are using user namespaces, therefore udev event notification via netlink won't work reliably. Use their filesystem API to detect them and automatically fallback to the inotify-based enumeration.

Sam Lantinga 8795ca70 2020-12-14T09:15:47 Fixed bug 5241 - SDL on Linux needs a way to turn deadzones off pj5085 I added some printf to verify the math being done. Of the three joysticks I have, it works correctly for at least two, and seems to work correctly for the third. I say "seems to" because, for the third joystick, the values never go through the AxisCorrect function, and thus never hit my printf statements, even though they did in the version I wrote my patch against. I'm not sure what's going on there, but it at least seems to be working correctly in as much as I can tell. I note this result in particular, for an SNES Gamepad (min=0, max=255): Joystick value 0 becomes -32768 Joystick value 127 becomes 0 Joystick value 255 becomes 32767 Without the code that forces a zero point, the 127 input value would become -129, so I think you see why I added that code to turn it into zero. However, I think Kai Krakow has a point about how SDL shouldn't assume that there should be a center. Obviously in the majority of cases there actually should be a center, and the code that turns that 127 into an actual 0 is creating only a 0.2% error over 0.4% of this joystick's range. However, what if there is an axis that is some kind of special control, like a 4-position switch, and, for whatever reason, the joystick reports it as an axis with 4 possible values, 0 to 3? In that case, mutilating the two center values to the same value is much more of an error and and turns that 4-position switch into a 3-position switch. If any joystick does this with a 2-position switch, then this code would render that control entirely useless as it would report the same value with the switch in either position. Obviously the code could require that there be at least N possible values, to guess whether something is a proper axis or just some kind of switch, but the choice of N would be arbitrary and that's ugly. I guess the real problem here is that my gamepad is just kind of broken. It should be reporting a range of -1 to +1 since that's what it actually does. Also, as Kai Krakow points out, it's probably not SDL's place to fix broken hardware. I'll add that, if SDL does fix broken hardware, it should probably actually know that it's broken rather than be merely guessing that it is. So, to the extent that SDL is able to do stuff like this, perhaps it's something better left for the user to configure in some kind of config file.

Sam Lantinga db0a2025 2020-12-12T23:48:02 Fixed bug 5241 - SDL on Linux needs a way to turn deadzones off pj5085 It occurred to me that my simple patch that comments out a few lines of code does not correctly remove the dead zone since the calculation presumably assumes the dead zone has been cut out of the range. Then, while looking into how to make it output the correct range of values, I realized SDL wasn't returning the correct range of values to begin with. This line of code was already present: printf("Values = { %d, %d, %d, %d, %d }\n", absinfo.value, absinfo.minimum, absinfo.maximum, absinfo.fuzz, absinfo.flat); For my joystick this yeilds: Values = { 0, -127, 127, 0, 15 } Then this code calculates the coefficients: In SDL1: joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[0] = (absinfo.maximum + absinfo.minimum) / 2 - absinfo.flat; joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[1] = (absinfo.maximum + absinfo.minimum) / 2 + absinfo.flat; t = ((absinfo.maximum - absinfo.minimum) / 2 - 2 * absinfo.flat); if ( t != 0 ) { joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[2] = (1 << 29) / t; } else { joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[2] = 0; } In SDL2: joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[0] = (absinfo.maximum + absinfo.minimum) - 2 * absinfo.flat; joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[1] = (absinfo.maximum + absinfo.minimum) + 2 * absinfo.flat; t = ((absinfo.maximum - absinfo.minimum) - 4 * absinfo.flat); if (t != 0) { joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[2] = (1 << 28) / t; } else { joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[2] = 0; } Neither calculates the correct coefficients for the code in the AxisCorrect function. In SDL1: if ( value > correct->coef[0] ) { if ( value < correct->coef[1] ) { return 0; } value -= correct->coef[1]; } else { value -= correct->coef[0]; } value *= correct->coef[2]; value >>= 14; In SDL2: value *= 2; if (value > correct->coef[0]) { if (value < correct->coef[1]) { return 0; } value -= correct->coef[1]; } else { value -= correct->coef[0]; } In SDL1, the calculated coefficients are coef[0]=15, coef[1]=-15 and coef[2]=5534751. So with a full-scale input of 127, it calculates an output value of 37835, which is considerably out of range. In SDL2, the calculated coefficients are coef[0]=30, coef[1]=-30, and coef[2]=1383687. So with a full-scale input of 127, it calculates the same output value of 37835. I tested it with the 3 joysticks I have, and it produces out-of-range values for all of them. Anyway, since dead zones are garbage, I just deleted all of that junk and wrote some code that takes the absinfo.minimum and absinfo.maximum values and uses them to scale the axis range to -32767 through +32767. I also made it detect when a range doesn't have an integer center point, e.g. the center of -128 to + 127 is -0.5. In such cases, if either value to the side of the center is provided, it zeros it, but it otherwise doesn't implement any kind of dead zone. This seemed important with my gamepad which provides only the values of 0, 127, and 255, since without this hack it would never be centered. Also, the previous minimum output value was -32768, but as that creates an output range that has no true center, I changed the minimum value to -32767. I tested it with the 3 joystick devices I have and it seems to create correct values for all of them.

Simon McVittie b0eba1c5 2020-11-11T19:15:32 joystick: Use inotify to detect joystick unplug if not using udev This improves SDL's ability to detect joystick hotplug in a container environment. We cannot reliably receive events from udev in a container, because they are delivered as netlink events, which are authenticated by their uid being 0. However, in a user namespace created by an unprivileged user (for example bubblewrap, as used by Flatpak and Steam's pressure-vessel-wrap), the kernel does not allow us to map uid 0, and the netlink events appear to be from the kernel's overflowuid (typically 65534/nobody), meaning libudev cannot distinguish between genuine uevents from udevd and an attack by a malicious local user.

Simon McVittie fdd945f2 2020-11-11T19:14:52 joystick: Use a better heuristic to guess what is a joystick Previously we only checked for at least one button or key and at least the X and Y absolute axes, but this has both false positives and false negatives. Graphics tablets, trackpads and touchscreens all have buttons and absolute X and Y axes, but we don't want to detect those as joysticks. On normal Linux systems ordinary users do not have access to these device nodes, but members of the 'input' group do. Conversely, some game controllers only have digital buttons and no analogue axes (the Nintendo Wiimote is an example), and some have axes and no buttons (steering wheels or flight simulator rudders might not have buttons). Use the more elaborate heuristic factored out from SDL's udev code path to handle these cases. In an ideal world we could use exactly the same heuristic as udev's input_id builtin, but that isn't under a suitable license for inclusion in SDL, so we have to use a parallel implementation of something vaguely similar.

Simon McVittie 13e7d1a9 2020-11-11T19:14:11 joystick: Allow libudev to be disabled at runtime Device enumeration via libudev can fail in a container for two reasons: * the netlink protocol between udevd and libudev is considered private, so there is no API guarantee that the version of libudev in a container will understand netlink messages from a dissimilar version of udevd on the host system; * the netlink protocol between udevd and libudev relies for security on being able to check the uid of each message, but in a container with a user namespace where host uid 0 is not mapped, the libudev client cannot distinguish between messages from host uid 0 and messages from a different, malicious user on the host To make this easier to experiment with, always compile the fallback code path even if libudev is disabled. libudev remains the default if enabled at compile time, but the fallback code path can be forced.

Sam Lantinga 345b4d7e 2020-05-29T13:37:21 Fixed bug 5161 - Autodetect controller mappings based on the Linux Gamepad Specification Jan Bujak I wrote a new driver for my gamepad on Linux. I'd like SDL to support it out-of-box, as currently it just treats it as a generic joystick instead of a gamepad. From what I can see the only way to do that is to either 1) pick one of the already supported controllers' PID, VID and button layouts and have my driver send that (effectively lying that it's something else), or 2) submit a preconfigured, hardcoded mapping to SDL. Both of those, in my opinion, are silly when we already have the Linux Gamepad Specification which standarizes this: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.15/input/gamepad.html Unfortunately SDL doesn't make use of it currently. So I've took it upon myself to add it; patch is in the attachments. Basically what the patch does is that if SDL finds no built-it controller mappings for a given joystick it then asks the joystick backend to autodetect it, and that uses the relevant evdev bits to figure out which button/axis is which. (See the specs for more details.) With this patch applied my own driver for my controller works out-of-box with SDL with no extra configuration and is correctly recognized as a gamepad; this is also going to be the case for any other driver which follows the Linux Gamepad Specification.

Sam Lantinga a1a2f9b9 2019-06-12T10:32:36 Fixed bug 4486 - Segfault when pressing a trigger on the Steam Controller (Linux) Matteo Beniamino Pressing a trigger button on a Steam Controller causes a segmentation fault both with stable version and latest mercurial head on Linux. I'm using the recent hid_steam kernel module with lizard_mode disabled (that is no keyboard/mouse emulation). I suspect this is what's happening: the driver exposes two hats. The two hats have indices 0 and 2. Inside linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c two hats are allocated in allocate_hatdata for joystick->hwdata->hats. In HandleHat function the hat parameter (that can be 2) is directly used as the index of the array that only has two elements, causing an out of bounds access. SDL is not expecting to have "holes" between hats indices. The index 2 is calculated in HandleInputEvents() as (ABS_HAT2X - ABS_HAT0X) / 2 where ABS_HAT2X is the value associated to the hat inside the hid_steam module.
Sam Lantinga 56b7f4cf 2019-06-08T14:40:27 Fixed bug 4583 - PollAllValues appears to use an incorrect index for all axes above 0x18 Noam Preil In src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c: The ConfigJoystick function's axes detection starts with a for loop using an index i for Linux's axes names. When i gets to ABS_HAT0X, it's set to ABS_HAT3Y and a continue statement appears, to skip the hats. This makes sense, as SDL handles hats separately from axes. However, in PollAllValues, *two* indices are used: a and b. Both start out the same, and remain so until the hats are reached. At that point, a becomes identical to the i from ConfigJoystick's loop, but b is equal to a - (ABS_HAT3Y - ABS_HAT0X), or a - 8. While all the joystick->hwdata->abs_* structures in ConfigJoystick used i - which would here be a - as both the index and the ioctl argument, PollAllValues uses b for the structure index and a as the ioctl argument. It would appear, however, that no joystick HAS such axes, and that the b index is entirely unnecessary. I tested three separate joysticks, and while that was far from a complete listing, I was unable to find a joystick with an axis above 0x08.

Philipp Wiesemann 0e45984f 2015-06-21T17:33:46 Fixed crash if initialization of EGL failed but was tried again later. The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
Ryan C. Gordon f99d6e1d 2015-05-26T12:03:51 Linux joystick: Look at entire axis namespace for controls (thanks, "spaz16"!). This apparently has fallout: the PS4 (and maybe PS3?) controllers apparently report some bogus axes, but it won't change the axes we currently expect, and thus the game controller config string is still stable. Fixes Bugzilla #2719.
Sam Lantinga 2c4a6ea0 2015-05-26T06:27:46 Updated the copyright year to 2015
Ryan C. Gordon b72938c8 2015-04-20T12:22:44 Windows: Always set the system timer resolution to 1ms by default. An existing hint lets apps that don't need the timer resolution changed avoid this, to save battery, etc, but this fixes several problems in timing, audio callbacks not firing fast enough, etc. Fixes Bugzilla #2944.
Philipp Wiesemann 3e1d3629 2015-04-15T21:29:55 Fixed typo in internal joystick documentation comments.
Alex Szpakowski fe6c797c 2015-04-10T23:30:31 Fixed an iOS view orientation issue when SDL_GL_CreateContext or SDL_CreateRenderer is called.
Ryan C. Gordon 162ef5ea 2015-03-24T13:52:01 Cleanups in the joystick code. Removed some redundant state and other confusions. Fixes Bugzilla #2738.
Philipp Wiesemann da843f6a 2015-03-11T21:14:21 Updated internal documentation comments.
Edward Rudd b88ca1b4 2015-02-10T16:28:56 the last parameter of XChangeProperty is the number of elements.. and when the element format is 32.. the element is "long" so we have 5 long elements here. Yes this seems confusing as on mac+linux Long is either 32 or 64bits depending on the architecture, but this is how the X11 protocol is defined. Thus 5 is the correct value for the nelts here. Not 5 or 10 depending on the architecture. More info on the confusion https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16802
Sam Lantinga a7258066 2015-01-29T13:33:53 Fixed game controller hotplug support for some embedded Linux devices When guessing the device class, it ends up being 0 for devices that have been removed (because the device node no longer exists)
Philipp Wiesemann b48e54aa 2015-01-26T22:00:29 Fixed bug 2802 - [patch] Fix android build compiling in wrong filesystem implementation Jonas Kulla The configure script didn't differentiate between Linux and Android, unconditionally compiling in the unix implementation of SDL_sysfilesystem.c. I'm probably one of the very few people building SDL for android using classic configure + standalone toolchain, so this has gone undetected all along.
David Ludwig 70438be2 2014-12-03T10:55:23 WinRT: fixed bug whereby SDL would override an app's default orientation WinRT apps can set a default, preferred orientation via a .appxmanifest file. SDL was overriding this on app startup, and making the app use all possible orientations (landscape and portrait). Thanks to Eric Wing for the heads up on this!
Philipp Wiesemann 9c398852 2014-11-22T22:20:40 Corrected header file documentation comment.
Pierre-Loup A. Griffais 24c86b55 2014-09-11T19:24:42 [X11] Reconcile logical keyboard state with physical state on FocusIn since the window system doesn't do it for us like other platforms. This prevents sticky keys and missed keys when going in and out of focus, for example Alt would appear to stick if switching away from an SDL app with Alt-Tab and had to be pressed again. CR: Sam
Ryan C. Gordon 446d19c4 2014-06-14T23:31:23 Removed SDL_SYS_JoystickNeedsPolling(). It was simpler to just have the polling (actually: hotplug detection) functions return immediately if it's not an appropriate time to poll. Note that previously, if any joystick/controller was opened, we would poll every time anyhow, skipping this function.
David Ludwig 3dcb451f 2014-04-09T21:29:19 Added a README file regarding WinRT support To note, this file is currently formatted with CRLF line endings, rather than LF, to allow the file to be viewed with Notepad.
Sam Lantinga 58edac3e 2014-02-02T00:53:27 Fixed bug 2374 - Update copyright for 2014... Is it that time already??
Philipp Wiesemann 62b17e7e 2014-01-29T00:27:54 Fixed comments in joystick implementation files claiming to be headers. It seems comments were originally copied from SDL_sysjoystick.h.
Sam Lantinga 4ab350d4 2013-12-06T09:13:31 Fixed detecting the wired XBox 360 controller on Linux Also added some more debug output to detect issues
Gabriel Jacobo f848adff 2013-11-29T10:06:08 Improve Android pause/resume behavior.
Ryan C. Gordon 7e1289af 2013-11-24T23:56:17 Make internal SDL sources include SDL_internal.h instead of SDL_config.h The new header will include SDL_config.h, but allows for other global stuff.
Sam Lantinga e3e24bde 2013-11-08T14:04:59 Make sure the joystick count is correct when the added and removed events are dispatched, in case someone is watching for them with an event filter.
Gabriel Jacobo e27248c2 2013-11-06T09:48:45 Fixes Bug 1944 - Linux events, joysticks having only hat are not read
