Running DOSBox 0.72 and 0.73 in FreeBSD 7.2 with a Logitech Attack 3 joystick, I'm seeing two problems:
1) With timed=true in the config file, the joystick axes are extremely "lagged", as if the event queue is not being drained properly and is just building up.
2) With timed=false, it pulls to the right constantly. I can't tell if it is lagged or not, but it isn't usable.
To work around, I disabled "REDUCE_JOYSTICK_POLLING" in video.h. However, this code path doesn't support remapping of the buttons, it just wraps them according to the defaults of whatever stick type (4axis in my case) was used. So, it works, but I sure wish the mapping was enabled!
The joystick works fine using "usbhidctl" to display the inputs/outputs in realtime. Anyone have some suggestions for other things to try?
EDIT: Had the "true vs false" behavior backwards, corrected now.
