[PD] joysticks with hid

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

/dev/input/js? are created by the "joydev" and use a data struct  
specific to joysticks.  The /dev/input/event? devices are created by  
"evdev" and use a data struct designed to be general to all human  
interface devices.

So you need to "modprobe evdev" and find which /dev/input/event? device  
your joysticks are on.  I am planning on making this much easier in  
future versions of [hid], with device names like: [hid joystick1], [hid  
mouse2], etc.
