wine users - Dec 2010 - Joystick functionality in Wine for Mac OS

I need help getting my joystick functioning for Wine in Mac OS X. I am using
Wineskin with Wine version 1.3.9 and Mac OS 10.6.5. The joystick is functional
and my Mac reads it fine. I've tried editing the regedit keys by creating a
DirectInput key with the string "Logitech Logitech Extreme 3D" =
"X,Y,Rz,Slider1,POV1,POV2". However, that did nothing. I also tried
putting the dinput8 and dinput into the DllOverrides with Windows config and
tried various options there (but by no means exhaustive).

Again, nothing happened. I've also tried various names for my joystick - for
instance "Logitech Logitech Extreme 3D" vs "Logitech Logitech
Extreme 3D Pro". For some reason the command: "WINEDEBUG=+dinput wine
game.exe 2>&1" doesn't work in my terminal - it just says
command wine not found. Trying to go into my local folder and using
./wineskin.app or wineskin.app in the command does nothing either. So maybe my
name is wrong, but my computer recognizes the joystick as "Logitech Extreme
3D".

I've tried this for two games: Red Baron 3D and IL-2 Sturmovik and neither
recognizes my joystick. The games work perfectly other than that. Has anybody
gotten a joystick to work under WINE for OS X?

If you have a fix, please let me know. I feel really close to getting my flight
sims to work, but I'd really like to play them with my joystick.

I still need to add in a way to choose debug channels on running... right now
there is no way to run it.  The wine command wont work on the command line
because you don't have Wine installed anywhere in the path.  If you want to
run the Wine build in Wineskin via command line, you'd have to run it
directly in X11.app or Xquartz.app xterm.  You'd have to add the Wine bin
folder thats in the WineskinEngine.bundle to the PATH, then you could use it...
its not terribly easy.

If you want to do tests that are viable for support here, you really need to
just install Wine and run it yourself and not use Wineskin.  Thats really
easiest to do with Macports, and everything will run through X11.app or
Xquartz.app... all controlled command line.
