Hi guys, The mouse and joystick code inside Mixxx is totally unmaintained at the moment. If you're not familiar with the mouse code, it attempts to use the motion of a mouse hoving over a turntable to do ad-hoc vinyl control. It's a cool idea, and I played with it once about 2 years ago but I couldn't get it working properly. To date, I've never heard of anyone else trying it.
When we switched to QT4, we probably broke the mouse code, and possibly the joystick code too. I've never heard of anyone using the joystick control either, nor do I know anything about the code. What I _do_ know is that the mouse stuff clutters up the "Input Devices" preferences dialog, and its just another piece of unmaintained code. For these reasons, I think we should deprecate the mouse and joystick controls for the time being, and remove the mouse stuff from the preferences dialog. The less (unmaintained) code we have, the less bugs we're going to have. I'd also like to take the stuff related to mouse/joystick control off the main website, since nobody even knows if it still works. Thoughts/objections?
