[PATCH] joystick deadzone and calibration (8536) - bobdevis - 2010-01-16

When I started using my wireless Xbox controller to control XBMC on Windows XP, I found the deadzone not to be working. The <controllerdeadzone> setting in advancedsettings.xml was not working either. I discussed the issue on the forum (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=66645),. It turned out to be a known bug at multiple platforms.

I submitted a patch at http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8536

The patch should fix the controller deadzone, including incorporation of the <controllerdeadzone> setting in advancedsettings.xml. I have tested it on WinXP with the wireless Xbox 360 controller, but it should also fix this long standing bug: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/4327

The patch also addresses a few other issues that I found in the joystick code.

I'm new to this all, so feedback is greatly appreciated.

i just noticed my player would not stop seeking,
because of the new (5months old) joystick.Logitech.RumblePad.2.xml.

thanks for the deadzone patch bobdevis !!!
