M$ USB Sidewinder Controller
Does anyone know how to get a USB game controller working?
ESP. a "Microsoft Sidewinder Game Pad"
I'm detecting it with usb-ohci and hotplug...
I just don't know how to utilize it.
I'm guessing maybe an entry in xf86config for input device?
Getting this working would be really nice for Zsnes. 
Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: M$ USB Sidewinder Controller
If hotplug detects it, then it probably already has the drivers loaded. There should be a /dev/input/js0 or /dev/joystick or something like that. Each application needs support for it (I used to use a ms joystick port gamepad to play snes games).
