Hi Zoltan, I have used SDL for joytstick support in OSG for a number of years - one can simply set SDL to poll for the events and let the osgViewer create all windows. Present3D is an example of this in action.
In your own app you could probably just do all mouse, keyboard and joystick handling in your own code, polling for events on each new frame. If you want to reuse the osgGA event handlers/camera manipulators then you'll need to adapt the events into osgGA ones, the osgviewerSDL example will show you how to do this. If you don't need the off the shelf event support you just just have you own event handling and set the master camera's view matrix on each new frame as required. Robert.
