Improvement for bug 3446 - The haptic API does not allow to select the direction axes

meyraud705

I see how the documentation is confusing. I think that the choice of the axis is an implementation detail. The documentation should state the goal of this value, so I propose this wording:

    "Use this value to play an effect on the steering wheel axis. This provides
     better compatibility across platforms and devices as SDL will guess the
     correct axis."

Value could even be renamed 'SDL_HAPTIC_STEERING_AXIS'.

For Linux, sending an effect on the X axis with a Logitech wheel works. Others brands don't have driver for Linux as far as I know.
