[haiku-development] Re: Some questions

And if one read the doc I sent with the mail closely one can clearly see
the same things I have seen (about the different paths).. to bad I missed

But I still think that BJoystick are only used with the calibrating window
and the prof are that BJoystick don't show disabled ports but R5 Joystick
pref does.
