In fact, joystick support is the next thing on my list.

If you'd like you can send me a patch with what you have
done. Let me know...

Configuring your joystick in linux may, or may not, be
a painful experience. Mine was kinda painful, mainly
because my joystick (Logitech Wingman Force 3D) is not
fully supported.

Anyway, I should have the joystick code completed soon.
The code that is in cvs now will print out a bunch of
debug messages if you have a stick attached and
functional.

ok great ill have to get the latest going then..

I was lucky with the joystick I think
Ms SideWinder 3dpro with kernel 2.4.5 support was easy to setup

Badguy,

I just checked in the linux joystick support. There are
some things I still need to do, but axes, buttons, and
hats should all work.
