Little clarification. The xf86-input-joystick module is to use the joystick as |
| 20 |
an X input device to control the mouse cursor. It is not needed to play games |
| 21 |
or to use it in programs that directly use the joystick, like mplayer. |

You can use xf86-input-joystick to control the cursor or to use a joystick in |
| 24 |
games that do NOT know how to handle joysticks themselves. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Neither you need joystick in INPUT_DEVICES, nor you need an entry in xorg.conf |
| 27 |
nor have xorg-server compiled with hal to use a joystick in games the usual |
| 28 |
way. Appropriate kernel modules and udev will do. |
