[Matthias Arndt <marndt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Please check the jstest output for your device if the axis indicators to
change or only ON/OFF mappings for the buttons appear.

If your device does not produce any axis events but button presses only,
you are out of luck with the current state of Hatari's source code.

All I can tell you in this case, is to contact the Hatari develeopment
mailing list, see CC 

For information on Jabber, please consult Wikipedia or the like. I'm
sure there are CLI bsed clients available.

Regards,
Matthias
