> Does the fixed joystick driver fix those USB-related problems?
As Johan proved it (thanks again to him), it turned out that the problem
wasn't related to USB at all: his USB Sidewinder GamePad (2 axis) worked
perfectly with the old driver, whereas his USB Sidewinder Precision 2 (3
axis + 1 throttle + 1 POV) didn't.
There was simply a big bug nobody saw before him: the code had been
originally written for 3 axis only. Later it was enhanced to support 6 axis
but no additional space was reserved in the Win32 joystick object structure,
leading to an obvious memory corruption problem.

Ok but they shouldn't have a big impact on the library and any effect on the
API.

Contrary to this one that could lead to a big shakeup !
