Description Chusslove Illich 2011-02-13 04:30:28 UTC 
Currently SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE environment variable can be used to add
exactly one topmost device. I think it would be nice if one could also set
several devices (e.g. a stick and a throttle) in this way, as a colon-
separated list. The attached patch implements this (one for 1.2, another for
1.3, due to cleaned up whitespace style). I have tested it not by building
either branch from the repo, but by rebuilding Debian's 1.2.14 package.

(I've sought to update the documentation as well, but the only mention of
this variable is in docs/html/sdlenvvars.html in 1.2, which is auto-
generated from something outside of the repo, and nowhere in 1.3.)

Thank you very much for your patch for SDL 1.3!

Do you give me permission to release your code with SDL 1.3 and future
versions of SDL under both the LGPL and a closed-source commercial
license?
