The Linux joystick driver enumerates all axes up to ABS_MISC but
accepts input for all axes up to ABS_MAX. This causes all axes after
ABS_MISC to be remapped to axis 0, because the abs_map table is
initialised to zero. In practice this makes joysticks such as the PS3
SixAxis gamepad almost unusable.
As a simple fix I suggest replacing ABS_MISC with ABS_MAX around line
705 in src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c so that all axes including
the accelerometer ones are available.
Cheers,–
Sam.
