[Feature Request]Allow Axis X+/-, Y+/- as options for Xlib input
0%
Description
IIRC, the XInput API allows users to set controls using Axis X+/- and Axis Y+/-. Essentially, the mouse receives input based on relative movements rather than absolute positions (a la Cursor X+/- and Cursor Y+/-) I was wondering if it would be possible to do the same on Linux when using Xlib to get input. If not, would it be possible to add an option to use SDL for this instead? (I know it can handle these types of mouse motions).
This isn't especially important, but I would like to see this small feature parity (between Windows and Linux) cleared up. Plus, I want to play Time Splitters 2 with a mouse.

Uh, this is already implemented?
Right click button in pad config, select Axis X+, profit?

Yes, maxtothemax implemented this in the XI2 input backend.

Uh, have you guys tried it yourselves? Axis X+/- and Axis Y+/- don't show up at all. And yes, I did right click and browsed through all of the available options. Typing them in manually leads Dolphin to say "Device not found" when clicking Apply. I have XInput2 extensions installed, and even updating that still gives me the same error on the currest master branch revisions

Any ideas why it won't show up then? What version of XI are you using delroth?

Yo, chill. This was a feature request, but now it's turning into an issue report. Fwiw, I have submitted issue reports properly in the past (using the template too).
This happens on http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/source/detail?r=c1ddeacc9d090ac2c535a6044ac541a8087cfe8b
And has happened ever since this initial commit where XInput2 was added:
http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/source/detail?r=9fbc5ff27cef0acac37a5a5a1a2c0d060ec226e1
XInput2 doesn't show up as an option under Devices. Xlib continues to show up like in all revisions prior to 9fbc5ff27cef0acac37a5a5a1a2c0d060ec226e1.
