I have a USB joypad which I know works under Linux with joydev, and I
know actually works (tested on another box). However, I cannot get any
response from /dev/js:

# ls -l /dev/js*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 9 Oct 16 16:50 /dev/js -> input/js0
# cat /dev/js

# cat /dev/input/js0

Neither the buttons or axes produce anything. Info in /proc:

# cat /proc/bus/input/devices
.
.

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=06a3 Product=0510 Version=0101

H: Handlers=event2 js0

joydev and usbcore are loaded:

# lsmod | grep usb
usbhid                 41088  0
usbcore               103172  5 quickcam,usbhid,uhci-hcd
# lsmod | grep joy
joydev                  8032  0

The relevant (I think) section from demsg output:

hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found
hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected
usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using address 2
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 3
