Look in the c files for SDLK and something after it.

Run xev on the device and see which button does what and map that to the right button in http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDLKey and change in the code.

Like middle dpad button= return (xev) = SDLK_RETURN
Full screen button at top = F6 (xev return value) = SDLK_F6

OK then...(with that EXTREMELY helpful information) I now have the joystick mapped to SDLK_RETURN, SDLK_LEFT, SDLK_RIGHT, SDLK_UP, and SDLK_DOWN. and I can play Bezerk. sound isnt horrible, but it is a bit slow.

The full-screen and minimize buttons I have to work on still, thats not as simple as just changing key-mappings in the code.
However thats what this is all about, learning how to port to maemo.. well that and having a wicked cool Atari130Xe on my N800

time to go back to maemo.org and see what I can find out about the hildon libs..
