Re: [pygame] pygame.Joystick Broken in 1.8.1?

[René Dudfield <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

thanks for the report.

I think ubuntu/linux might have changed their joystick support
somehow.  I read as much not long ago, but haven't looked into it yet.


What are the errors?  Are they segfaults, or are exceptions raised?
Or something else?



cheers.
