That's a myth, at least under Linux.

Did I give the impression that I don't believe you?! Why should it
have been a typo? I only questioned the --prop option ...

Ah, ok. The version in CVS doesn't have it.

Should have been -32768..32767

But there must be *any* way to check raw joystick data on BSD!?

Maybe it only works in "games". FlightGear is a simulator. :-P
Are you sure that the respective driver is used at all? You can
check that in the property browser: File->Browser Internal Properties
-> /input/joysticks/js/source ... this should contain the path to
the XML file. Alternatively you can check with this command line:
$ fgfs --log-level=debug 2>&1|grep joystick # assuming a bash shell
which gives me
Initializing joystick bindings
[...]
Reading joystick file
{$FG_ROOT}/Input/Joysticks/Boeder/p20_flightstick_pro_usb.xml
Looking for bindings for joystick "SAITEK CYBORG 3D USB"
... found joystick: {$FG_ROOT}/Input/Joysticks/Saitek/Cyborg-Gold-3d-USB.xml
Initializing joystick 0
If an identifier appears here for which there is no <name> entry in the
XML file that is appropriate for your js, and the identifier is in no other
file either, then the driver with the <name>default</name> entry will be
used.
That wouldn't really explain your problem, but it's a start.
