How do I get my joystick to work under Xandros Desktop Open Circulation Edition? I have a Logitech Wingman Rumblepad USB.

You need to load the joydev module with "modprobe joydev" typed in a terminal. After that it might just work automatically. My nostromo u50 gamepad did.

That didn't work. Are there any certain packages I need or anything like that?

Just google for the keywords "xandros" and "joystick", I saw many references on how to get a joystick working under Xandros.
