Nick Holley was right: I have upgraded libSDL to 1.2.6 (see
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=57475) and, with a minor
patch to the joystick code, I can use my USB joystick in SDL programs
(e.g. tuxracer).

Next step: put a similar code in the other toolkits (plib, etc.)...

Hello,

I have got a USB joypad, and it is sensed by the system (either 4.9 or
5.1):
uhid0: Microsoft Microsoft SideWinder Plug  Play Game Pad, rev
1.00/1.01, addr 2, iclass 3/0
I have got a new device /dev/uhid0 and kldloaded joy.ko.

When I run

perl -e 'open(JOY,/dev/uhid0)||die;while(1)
{sysread(JOY,$x,16);@j=unpack(,$x);print @j\n;sleep(1);}'
(adapted from `man 4 joy'), it returns a list of numbers for each action
on the pad, but nothing usable.
I've tried to link /dev/joy0 - /dev/uhid0, but without success with
several games.
What am I missing?
 

What program are you trying to use? I know there are some issues with 
joysticks and gamepads on FreeBSD. For example, the joystick code was 
removed from zsnes due to problems, but there are no problems with 
snes9x. I don't know who exactly would have more information.

Actually I'm trying to test the new versions of freeglut and TORCS, and
my only machine able to run these programs (OpenGL) is a laptop, and I
can only plug a USB joypad.

But I don't think that it depends on the program: no more results with
the sample perl routine or tuxracer.
