wine users - Aug 2011 - Question regarding expanding wine features with JoytoKey

Currently wine is able to run the windows program JoytoKey decently. One of the
most important features of JoytoKey (emualtion of the mouse using a joystick),
works within the Linux desktop, but not inside applications which take control
of the mouse (mainly games). I was wondering if it would be possible for Wine to
allow JoyToKey to control such applications using Joytokey's mouse
emulation.

I know there are other Linux programs out there that offer keymapping and mouse
emulation using joysticks but I believe that none of these come close to
Joytokey. Expanding the functionality of Wine to allow JoytoKey (which already
is compatible) to work within applications besides the desktop would be
beneficial.

Xenphor expand the native solutions. 

http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/  The native solutions are quite decent.  This
almost 100 percent matches all features of JoytoKey and has features JoytoKey
lacks.  In fact qjoypad action control on axis well and truly exceeds what
JoytoKey can do.   I really don't believed you looked at the native
applications Xenphor.

Linux input systems and Windows input systems are in fact major-ally different. 
Its not really possible to have a application inside wine control Linux
applications unless they do speak the same way.

Linux applications can control ones inside wine.  For the simple reason Wine has
a wrapper.

Also be aware if application asks to talk to mouse wine takes that path as
direct as able to native input system.  This is why JoytoKey fails.    Since
running inside wine its not interfacing with the native systems.

Also Xenphor the issue of splitting will get worse as xi2 and other changes go
through X11.   Yes something native that is maintained will be required to cope
with the up coming problems.  Like applications that are classed as not active
having keyboard and mouse feed disconnected.  Wine really cannot report that all
applications are active.  This is a speed fixup and also a secuirty fixup.  Ie
non active application not being able to see mouse keyboard or feed instructs to
mouse or keyboard does help secuirty.

Simple fact Linux is not Windows and keeping on using Windows applications when
you should not only causes you pain.
