if it's working properly then the device files /dev/js0 etc will get created,
at least they do on my system, i'm using devfs, not sure how that might
change things, so you need to test using:
$jstest /dev/js0
you might find that the device files exist but don't have the right
permissions, esp if you have loaded the modules manually after running X,
if they exist and you haven't put those modules into /etc/modules then do so
and reboot, then try jstest, if /dev/js0 doesn't exist then i'm not sure,
those modules are what i use for my sblive gameport (the ns558 is for the
standard gameport which is on my motherboard), note that for me /dev/js0 is a
symlink to /dev/input/js0
