The xwiikeymap tool attempts to configure new wiimotes as they connect, but
it has a glitch.  tools/xwiikeymap.c line 218 has a short sleep after a new
device appears, but this sleep is too short.  Extending it from 10ms to
100ms works for me.

Upstream seems to have abandoned xwiikeymap (it is no longer in the github
repo), in favor of the xorg input driver, which I see has an ITP for debian,
but no package yet yet.

Hi,

2013-12-26 15:54 GMT+09:00 Matthew Gabeler-Lee <cheetah@fastcat.org>:

I just upload new xwiimote to experimental (not install yet).
Could you check with this version? I have only old Wiimote.
xwiimote-2 is in experimental, but we can use this in unstable.

I see. xwiikeymap removed by upstream developer. Because xorg input driver is
used instead of xwiikeymap.
About  xorg input driver, I will talk with ITPer (#707781).

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro

Well, I never got around to testing this (found a better wireless input
device for my needs), and now the new version is uploaded which doesn't
have xwiikeymap, so I think this bug can be closed.
