Bug Description

Binary package hint: joystick

The behaviour of a given joystick before and after calibration is not documented well for either developers or end-users. As a result, it is hard to know if a given joystick has been calibrated correctly, or is indeed even producing correct values.

---------------
joystick (20051019-12) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use the correct maximum number of axes. LP: #595767.
  * Small fixes to the manpages.
  * Correct all remaining ioctl() checks. Closes: #587439.
  * Explain the purpose of calibration and how to determine whether a
    joystick is calibrated. LP: #497835.
  * Standards-Version 3.9.0: use Breaks rather than Conflits, and
    incidentally move the Breaks on dvb-utils to evtest where it really
    belongs.
