Well an interesting development. The YAST-Hardware-Joystick module says it only applies to soundcard joysticks. BUT, after I plugged in the joystick I checked Hardware-Hardware Information and found an entry for the joystick. I then checked the KDE joystick module and it was there. All is well. Thanks for getting me to persevere! Curiously the KDE module indicated it had found an entirely different /dev... entry than it said it was unable to find before; odd.
