Deadzone problem and solution

[tof8pool]

Using my G25 wheel, I had a deadzone problem even after calibrating the wheel with jscal or KDE control center.

I found the solution here : http://github.com/Grumbel/jstest-gtk/tree/master

At least on Ubuntu 9.04, SDL seems not to use the joystick interface anymore but instead, it uses the event interface.
The calibration mapping are therefore ignored by SDL.

There is one way to force SDL to use the joystick interface :
you have to export an environment variable like this :
export SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0

After setting this, I don't have any deadzone problem anymore.
