Class LinuxDeviceThread

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Thread

net.java.games.input.LinuxDeviceThread

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

final class LinuxDeviceThread
extends java.lang.Thread

Linux doesn't have proper support for force feedback from different threads since it relies on PIDs to determine ownership of a particular effect slot. Therefore we have to hack around this by making sure everything related to FF (including the final device close that performs and implicit deletion of all the process' effects) is run on a single thread.
