I read 0 for every button:

   for (int i = 0; i < SDL_JoystickNumButtons(mActiveJoystick); i++)
      info.addButtonState(SDL_JoystickGetButton(mActiveJoystick, i));

----

uname -a

I installed version 2.0.1 by just extracting, build and installing the source archive.

Reading axes and hats is still working fine though.
