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.

When using a Dualshock 4 controller (model numbers CUH-ZCT1U and CUH-ZCT2U), pressing anywhere on the center touchpad does not send an SDL_JOYBUTTONDOWN event. I have verified this with testjoystick:
Repro steps:
1. Plug in a DS4 over USB
2. Compile testjoystick and run: testjoystick.exe 0
3. Press and hold the touchpad. Observe that no lime green box appears
Expected behavior:
A lime green box appears while the touchpad is pressed.
Notes:
I've attached a patch here that works on my PC and produces the expected behavior in testjoystick, for both DS4 model numbers I listed earlier.
If I understand correctly, by exposing this as a joystick button, the gamecontroller API mapping can be modified with a change to gamecontrollerdb.txt in the future.
The Nintendo USB GameCube adapter has four controller ports. Return
the port number as 0 to 3 from SDL_JoystickGetPlayerIndex() and
SDL_JoystickGetDevicePlayerIndex().

Hi,
If a gamepad lists the Dpad as 4 buttons (Dpad Up,Down, Left, Right) like with the Xbox 360 gamepad / XInput report descriptor used by OpenBSD (https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/sys/dev/usb/uhid_rdesc.h#L184), this is not recognized by the SDL BSD backend and no hat or any other listing for the D-pad exists, e.g. in sdl2-jstest (https://gitlab.com/sdl-jstest/sdl-jstest).
The attached diff fixes this and makes the D-pad on my Xbox 360 and Logitech F310 controllers usable. It adds a hat to nhats when usage HUG_DPAD_UP is found, reads the state of the D-pad buttons into array dpad[], and turns the value of dpad[] into an SDL hat direction (dpad_to_sdl()).
Tested and works with Xbox 360 controller and Logitech F310 in XInput mode. Software-side tested with sdl2-jstest and Owlboy where this worked without problems or regressions.
I don't know if this would be applicable to other *BSDs and don't have an install to test it with, therefore wrapped it in __OpenBSD__ ifdefs.
Thanks,
thfr
Note that a single USB device is responsible for all 4 joysticks, so a large
rewrite of the DeviceDriver functions was necessary to allow a single device to
produce multiple joysticks.

Even though my game (dhewm3) doesn't use SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK, SDL_PumpEvent() calls SDL_JoystickUpdate() which ends up calling hid_enumerate() every three seconds, and sometimes on my Win7 box hid_enumerate() takes about 5 seconds, which causes the whole game to freeze for that time.

The Dualshock 3's motion sensors don't seem to be reported by the call to EVIOCGBIT but they still send EV_ABS events. Because they're not reported by EVIOCGBIT they're not assigned a proper axis ids and the default of 0 is used, which is the valid id for the left analog sticks left/right axis.
Adds controller bindings to support the "Xbox One Wireless Controller
(Model 1708)" on Linux. The Model 1708 was released in 2016 alongside the
Xbox One S. It is the current model being sold by Microsoft as of writing.

Include guards in most changed files were missing, I added them keeping
the same style as other SDL files. In some cases I moved the include
guards around to be the first thing the header has to take advantage of
any possible improvements compiler may have for inclusion guards.
If we run into problems where these events aren't dispatched (initialized on a different thread than the main thread?) we may need to create a separate thread to handle device notifications like we do with the windows joystick subsystem.
The code is now reliant on SDL_PrivateJoystickAdded() and SDL_PrivateJoystickRemoved() being called correctly when devices are added or removed on Windows

These are entirely untested
Several USB ids refer to multiple packaged products. In those cases I tried to use the most common name, or a general name (e.g. PS3 Controller), or a completely generic name (e.g. USB gamepad) if it wasn't clear what type of controller it was.
Patches welcome!

I have a DualShock 4 v2 controller with a GUID that's not in the database. There is an existing GUID that is almost identical, with the only difference that I can tell being the reported version string (mine being 8001, database is 8100).
Existing GUID: 050000004c050000cc09000000810000
New GUID: 050000004c050000cc09000001800000
When connected via USB, the GUID matches an existing entry: 030000004c050000cc09000011810000

In src\joystick\android\SDL_sysjoystick.c in SDL_SYS_JoystickDetect when SDL_GetTicks return number grater 2147483648 (after 24.85 days uptime) SDL_TICKS_PASSED(SDL_GetTicks(), timeout) return FALSE and Android_JNI_PollInputDevices is never calling.
And in JoystickByDeviceId - when search for newly added joystic - after SDL_SYS_JoystickDetect item not reinitilized, and always stay NULL, cause return NULL instead of added joystick.

I would like this small patch merged that adds support for my GreenAsia Inc. PSX to USB converter, so SDL_IsGameController() returns true when using this adaptor.
It's interesting because PSX/PS2 controllers connected using this model won't be detected as gamecontrollers otherwise, only as joysticks.
