Like any other distro, I'd expect hotplug to sort it out automatically - there may be a problem there, so the best advice is to see what results are obtained by stopping/starting the hotplug script and checking for those modules. The 2.4.x sources needed patches to two files in order for the CH Products Yoke and pedals to work properly.
There's no driver loaded - try "modprobe hid;modprobe joydev" as root, then see if js_demo shows the yoke working correctly.
This misfeature annoys me to no end. Has anyone investigated why the kernel input modules understand keyboards and mice just fine, but don't have the sense to load "joydev" automatically when a joystick is plugged in?
I've never looked at the kernel source. Presumably this would be a trivial fix, no? Sometimes it seems like we're the only major user of the joystick driver, and the kernel folks don't care about it...
