D3 Linux Joystick Hat switch not functional

The issue is that the linux joydev.c presents the hat as an axis, but D3 only wants to see it as a switch.

There is a hack located at:
http://svn.icculus.org/lgfaq/trunk/cool ... iew=markup

But I can't seem to get it to work on 2.4.29(It was originally written for 2.4.8).

Any help greatly appreciated. My stick is a Thrustmaster Top gun pro usb if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

A few quick questions: What distro are you running? After modifying "joydev.c" did you recompile kernel modules? Did it give you any errors? Could you "modprobe joydev" afterwards?

I know nothing about the linux version but in windoze D3 you can assign axis to sliding -- you would use "Slide Vertical" and "Slide Horizontal" to do that instead of "Slide Up/Down/Left/Right". JIC..
