[PD-dev] GameCube gamepad

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Does it work with [linuxevent]?  Are you getting data out of the /dev/ 
input/event2 interface?  You can just cat it to see if it outputs  
when you move the joystick (i.e. cat /dev/input/event2).

My guess is that it might output data via a /dev/input/js? device  
rather than a /dev/input/event? device.  [hid] and [linuxevent] need  
the /dev/input/event? device.
