Bug 5269

Summary: Deadzone incorrectly applied to trigger on Linux
Product: SDL Reporter: Mathieu Eyraud <meyraud705>
Component: joystickAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: WAITING --- QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: 2.0.13   
Hardware: x86_64   
OS: Linux   

Description Mathieu Eyraud 2020-08-25 12:13:18 UTC 
On Linux, deadzone for joystick axis are applied around 0. For triggers, this make their value snap on 0 in the middle of their travel.

I think deadzone should be applied around the rest value of the axis.
Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2020-12-09 14:44:23 UTC 
Do you have a tested patch to fix this? I'm not sure whether Linux joysticks have specific axes that are designated as triggers.
Comment 2 Mathieu Eyraud 2020-12-10 09:48:02 UTC 
Taking a look at SDL_gamecontrollerdb.h, there is no axis designated for triggers.

Personnaly, I agree with pj5085 (bug5241) that deadzone should be removed. That would fix this bug.
