SDL2 Joystick Problems On Kubuntu 14.04 64Bit Beta 2 ?

Hi,

I was running Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit for many months,
but have just now installed Kubuntu 14.04 64Bit Beta 2 on my main development desktop.
(grew tired of Win 8 and wanted something better)

I installed SDL2, SDL2_Image, SDL2_Mixer, & SDL2_TTF onto my Linux.
I build my game and it has no errors or warnings.

The problem I am having is that the game registers one of my USB gamepads as being pressed [Up]?
Is the above a bug in SDL2 on Kubuntu 14.04 64Bit Beta 2 ?

I have several USB gamepads plugged into my desktop.
Can someone tell me how to fix this issue on my Linux OS ?
My knowledge of Linux is lacking so please forgive if the above is a basic question.

You can download the entire game project at the URL below:
http://16bitsoft.com/V2/Files/SDL2/TC4/Beta/SDL2-TC4_Beta2.zip
(game is 100% open-source & includes a MakeFile to build on any Linux)

Thanks!

Are you sure that your gamepad(s) are working (natively) on Kubuntu ?

Hi,

Sorry everyone, false alarm...

I checked in MENU/Settings/System Settings/Hardware/Input Devices
and reset the gamepad that had the problem(it was stuck with value for [Up])

Everything is working now, thanks!
