SDL_PushEvent propogation

I’m new to SDL so sorry if this is a dumb question. We have a
proprietary serial joysticks that we would like to be able to use with
our application (uses SDL 1.2). Do events sent to the event queue via
SDL_PushEvent get sent out to a layer at which they would be received by
another program (allowing us to use a userspace program to convert the
serial data)? Or do I need to develop a proper driver for the joystick?

Thanks for the help

I’m not personally 100% sure, but I think SDL_PushEvent only adds to
the SDL app’s event queue. I can’t imagine having gone through the
work to push it up to a higher level. (Someone correct me if I’m wrong,
of course!)On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 08:53:57AM -0400, Mark Rossman wrote:
