[mythtv-users] Setting up joystick

Hi list,

I came across a generic wireless joystick that I had lying around.  I
am trying to set it up with my mythbox so I can eventually use
mythgames.  Unfortunately, I don't know the manufacture, it is
generic, but I see this in dmesg when I plug the USB receiver in:
usb 3-3: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
usb 3-3: New USB device found, idVendor=1345, idProduct=0003
usb 3-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 3-3: Product: USB  Joystick
usb 3-3: Manufacturer: LuenKeung Co.,Ltd
usb 3-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
input: LuenKeung Co.,Ltd USB  Joystick as
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.0/usb3/3-3/3-3:1.0/input/input3
generic-usb 0003:1345:0003.0001: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Joystick
[LuenKeung Co.,Ltd USB  Joystick] on usb-0000:00:12.0-3/input0


I think I can connect the joystick to the receiver (by hitting the
f.connect buttons on both devices at the same time), but when I do cat
/dev/input/js0 and press buttons, there seems to be no response.  Same
with when I do  jstest /dev/input/js0.

I am running fedora 12.  I tried issuing these commands as well:
modprobe joydev
modprobe iforce

and ran both tests with no success.  Is there something I am missing?
