thanks for the hint. i mailed the developer a year or so ago due to his post
on the freebsd-drivers@ mailinglist [1], but he told development of the ujoy
driver had ceased. i checked the site mentioned in his post and the ujoy
driver from back then is also no longer available.

so there is no way of xorg or hal working directly with uhid devices then?

cheers.
