Here is missing the joydev module. Look at
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/joystick.txt.
Check the devices in /dev, ie, for kernel 2.4 /dev/js0 has to be a link to
/dev/input/js0,
not a device like in 2.2.
To see if the kernel at least see the joystick, you can do just
cat /dev/input/js0
move the js and see some garbage...
