Description Matthias Varnholt 2014-01-22 12:44:18 UTC 
I read 0 for every button:

----

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

----

uname -a
Linux varnholt 3.0.0-32-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 21 15:50:59 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

----

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

Comment 3 Matthias Varnholt 2014-01-22 14:59:57 UTC
