Game controller

[Peter Easthope]

Hi,

I'm interested in use of the game controller or controllers in
place of the TouchPad or mouse. This is relevant to eBook mode
where the TouchPad is not accessible and a mouse is not convenient.

This is what I have.
[olpc at xo-53-1d-bb ~]$ cat /boot/olpc_build
13.2.5 for XO-1.5 (build 17)

bash-4.2# evtest
No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event*
Available devices:
/dev/input/event0:	Lid Switch
/dev/input/event1:	Power Button
/dev/input/event2:	AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
/dev/input/event3:	EBook Switch
/dev/input/event4:	olpc-kbdshim virtual keyboard
/dev/input/event5:	SynRelPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
/dev/input/event6:	olpc-kbdshim virtual mouse
/dev/input/event7:	USB Optical Mouse
Select the device event number [0-7]:

No mention of the Game controller.  Is any joystick device present?

[olpc at xo-53-1d-bb ~]$ ls -l /dev/j*
ls: cannot access /dev/j*: No such file or directory

Can any Linux software detect or communicate with this game
controller?  Ideas?
