Bug#564831: libsdl1.2debian: Crash when using dpad for joystick and misdetecting axis/hats

[Tarek Soliman]

Package: libsdl1.2debian
Version: 1.2.14-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

There is a bug that causes the joystick to be detected as 1 axis 13 buttons
 0 hat instead of 4 axis, 12 buttons, 1 hat

Found a commit that fixes it in upstream trunk rev 5424

Fixed crash in joystick handling code.  Newer 2.6 kernels add an additional
 'resolution' field to input_absinfo.  Note that we don't use that structure
  since we want to have enough space for the values even when building with 
  an older kernel.
