Hi!
Have bought a gamepad for my son - he plays supertuxkart (USB, "Black Warrior 
Patriot Vibration Gamepad"), attached, added

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier "joy1"
         Driver "joystick"
EndSection

to xorg.conf, restarted X (Gnome), and ... what?

I guess it depends on the version of X.Org.  With 1.5.x, you don't need 
an xorg.conf entry.  You just plug it in and it works.  The kernel must 
of course have joystick support.
