Subject: Jag joystick fix (take 2)
This patch enables all HID devices, not just joysticks. This quell
complaints about gamepads not working, though I don't have I gamepad to
verify this theory.
Before, only joysticks were recognized. Now, all HID devices except the
keyboard and mouse will be recognized.

Subject: [SDL] Minor X11 hack:
Here's a patch to center a newly-created, non-fullscreen X11 window.
While this may or may not be suitable for adding to SDL officially, I
didn't want to put any Xlib dependencies in my code directly.
To use:
- Apply patch/rebuild.
- export SDL_WINDOW_POS=center
- Call SDL_SetVideoMode as needed.
(Ideally, this could be expanded to handle other commands like
SDL_WINDOW_POS=20x190, etc, and could be implemented for other targets,
but this is really a hack to avoid API changes).

-Whenever the screen is rotated, the pad is rotated as well,
-Fixed a mouse bug: when tapping on the screen, the click event was
often sent at the previous position of the stylus (resulting in strange
behavior in Scummvm for instance)
-Added the SDL_QT_INVERT_ROTATION environment variable which, when set,
rotates the screen (and the mouse, and the pad) the other way. This can
be useful for left-handed people.

Subject: Palette support and 8bit color keying fix
This patch adds support for 8bit palette modes dropping
the RGB332 stuff. It also fixes color keying for 8bit.
testsprite (without -bpp >8) looks correct again.

Sam,
I've created an update patch for enhanced Nano-X support
with SDL. I've created the patch against SDL-1.2.4. I'd appreciate
it if you would apply it to the next SDL version.
Enhancements include:
1. Small bugfixes to compile without errors
2. Support for direct client-side framebuffer access with configure option
3. Add dynamic pixel type support for hardware framebuffer; eliminating the
need for compile-time configuration option.
I've updated the README.NanoX file with the details.
This version has been tested with Microwindows v0.89pre9 CVS
and SMPEG 0.4.4. I've added multi-threading support to
Microwindows to support the multi-threaded SMPEG, and
all works fine. To turn on thread safety in Microwindows,
use THREADSAFE=Y in the Microwindows config file.
Thanks!

Subject: [SDL] src/joystick/bsd/SDL_sysjoystick.c patch
The *BSD USB HID joystick code has two serious bugs:
1. If a joystick reports unhandled hid_input usage (for example HUG_RZ or
HUG_DIAL), then the last handled value will be overwritten with an
arbitrary value. (Fixed in the patch below by adding a default case.)
2. The current code does only handle logical coordinates in the range 0-255,
while a big part of available joysticks report -128 - 127. (This is solved
in the patch below by first center the range around 0, and then stretch
it to the correct range.)
