Many linux games and wine provide support only for linux joystick.
emulators/joytran helps but some games do not even support more than one
keyboard player e.g., Shank.

As devel/linux-js is nowadays broken I've tried to comile webcamd with
CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV but it still fails to attach to my usb gamepad.
OTOH, webcamd has no trouble attaching to my wacom tablet. Any clue
what may be missing?
