This can be used to work around issues where the Apple GCController driver doesn't work for some controllers but there's no way to know which GCController maps to which IOKit device.
(cherry picked from commit 708f18d49ef6975769865d247e2ce4da6ce8da76)
On some system like MacBook Pro Intel with AMD card, asking for the default device will always return the AMD GPU.
This is not an issue for 99% of the case when the renderer context is here to provide the maximum performance level like for game.
However, for video application using GPU for 1 quad and 1 texture, using the discrete GPU for that lead to an important power consumption (4 to 8W), heat increase, and fan noise.
With this patch, I successfully amend ffplay to only use the integrated GPU (i.e. the Intel one), instead of the discrete GPU (i.e. the AMD one).
Disabling RAWINPUT on Windows 10 causes these issues:
* All Xbox controllers are named "XInput Controller".
* Trigger rumble no longer works.
* "XInput Controllers" are now also listed as separate haptic devices
It's only needed to support more than 4 Xbox controllers, and adds significant complexity to the joystick processing, and we regularly get bugs from people who aren't using an SDL window who need to turn on SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_THREAD.
Several games (including Source and GoldSrc games, and Bioshock
Infinite) attempt to "fake" relative mouse mode by repeatedly warping
the cursor to the centre of the screen. Since mouse warping is not
supported under Wayland, the viewport ends up "stuck" in a rectangular
area.
Detect this case (mouse warp while the cursor is not visible), and
enable relative mouse mode, which tracks the cursor position
independently, and so can Warp successfully.
This is behind the SDL_HINT_VIDEO_WAYLAND_EMULATE_MOUSE_WARP hint, which
is enabled by default, unless the application enables relative mouse
mode itself using SDL_SetRelativeMouseMode(SDL_TRUE).
Note that there is a behavoural difference, in that relative mouse mode
typically doesn't take mouse accelleration into account, but the
repeated-warping technique does, so mouse movement can seem very slow
with this (unless the game has its own mouse accelleration option, such
as in Portal 2).
* Added support for vertical mode for Joy-Con controllers
* Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_VERTICAL_JOY_CONS for switching to this mode
* Added support for SL/SR buttons in combined/vertical mode and L/ZL/R/ZR buttons in mini-gamepad mode
* Added support for mini-gamepad mode for Joy-Con controllers, matching the mapping for hid-nintendo on Linux and iOS 16
* Added the ability to merge left and right Joy-Con controllers into a single Pro-style controller
* Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_SWITCH_COMBINE_JOY_CONS to control this merging functionality
* Removed the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_JOY_CONS
