Impressive. I wish all submitted patches (including mine) were as carefully
tested as yours.
Did you check that it doesn't conflict with the two Sidewinder classic
drivers ? But I'll do it anyway, since I own a SW gamepad.

What do you mean exactly ? Does the code rely on an external helper ? Or

In the latter case, no problem, I'll make them when merging the driver.
Btw, I suppose you compiled it with DJGPP ?
