What did you expect to happen instead?
Register the input
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Build Dolphin
- Run Dolphin
- Try and reconfigure the input to use Gamepad
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
Dolphin 4.0-6587
What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)
OpenSuSE Tumbleweed
AMD A10
Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)

I've Installed and Built SDL2-jstest on the same machine and it works. As do several other SDL2 based apps that use joysticks.
I did a strace on Dolphin and I could not see it actually opening the Joystick device (/dev/input/eventXX ) when I was trying to reconfigure the joystick.
Only on start, to enumerate the devices, and if you click refresh, which also crashes the application.
Also I have ensured my user is a member of the input group (which is the group to which the event devices belong) and I've also run Dolphin as root to ensure its not a permissions issue.
Thanks!

It appears that
Dolphin 4.0-6938
Works.... all very weird.

- Status changed from New to Invalid
I'm pretty sure phire disabled SDL to fix all this and use endev directly.
