Today I bought a wireless USB Playstation-2-like gamepad for $10 at the local supermarket, and, lo and behold, the thing works in linux! This is what I get from 'dmesg':
Code:

However, from 'jstest' I see that while the 12 buttons and 2 analog sticks all work, the direction pad is not recognized. I had expected it to be recognized as 4 buttons, one for each direction -- at least that was the case with another Playstation-2-like gamepad that I once had.
So how can I get the d-pad working? Is there a way to explicitly tell the driver that the pad has 16 buttons, or is there a generic driver for this type of gampad / how can I activate it?
Thx!
