ok, so the HID object works fine, but only on some systems.
I just tried on an ubuntu system and I can load the external, which will then report that it finds my wingman joystick. however, after I send it a "start" message, PD segfaults.
any ideas where to look?
works perfectly on another machine with gentoo. I'm thinking it's a hardware issure, though.
strangly enough, the outdated "rawjoystick" external works on the ubuntu machine...but outputs the both the vertical motion on the second axis as well as the hat-X values on the same 4th outlet.
