Bug#706721: visualboyadvance-gtk: Joypad not recognized when it works everywhere else

[Adrien Fernandes]

Package: visualboyadvance-gtk
Version: 1.8.0.dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
My gamepad Logitech Precision, which is recognized in every emulators, is not recognized in VisualBoyAdvance.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I unplugged-plugged the controler, tried on other emulators (PCSXR, BSNES) at the same time and alternative, restart the OS, tried on 32 and 64 bits, on other computers.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Nothing, it was always the same, the controler never worked in VBA.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
It works then I can play with a gamepad like with other emulators.
