Oops, you mean they don't work without that? Even the old driver
didn't use nonblocking mode, but had data always ready for the apps.
This could be a bug in the new driver ...
Could you try if this problem persists with the 1.2.x joystick driver
(which handles compatibility mode in a different way)?
Also, what's the 'any games'? Do you have a list? I'd like to know
about them if they're using joystick.

Thanks for your report.
