Subject: [PATCH] Input: clarify gamepad API ABS values
Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2013 15:27:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1380806829-11824-1-git-send-email-dh.herrmann@gmail.com> (raw)
It wasn't really clear from the gamepad-API description how ABS values are
mapped exactly. Clarify that negative is left/up and positive is
right/down. Unfortunately, this means I screwed up the Wii U ProController
ABI. Anyhow, this just means we continue to have 0 compatible gamepad
drivers in the kernel. User-space needs to fix them up, anyway, as all
other gamepads are also incompatible.
