[jensen@cc38617-a.hwrd1.md.home.com: Bug#54637: opening joystick: No such file or directory]

Hm… The focus problem sounds suspiciously like an SDL problem…

I’m forwarding this bug report to the SDL mailing list (sdl at lokigames.com)
in case anyone has any tips.

Thanks guys!

Package: gemdropx
Version: 0.7-1
Severity: important

When starting gemdropx, I get the error: opening joystick: No such
file or directory, which is true - I have no joystick. However the
gemdropx window refuses to accept keyboard focus, and so the game
can’t be started. (Using sawmill-0.20.1-2 and librep5.9-2)

Thanks,

In light of your responses, I tried running gemdropx under fvwm
instead of sawmill - I get the same (expected) joystick error, and
then it works as expected. So perhaps there is a sawmill|sdl
conflict? There was a new upstream sawmill release to 0.21 - perhaps
that will resolve the problem? I haven’t had time to look further
yet.
