I have a gamecube controller I hooked up via usb to my pc and I can use 
it to do stuff, just not play games!  $ man usbhidctl is what you will 
need to know.  The problem appears to be most emulators use joypad or 
something specific to linux.  But there is one in FreeBSD too, I just 
could never get the button mappings down.  What I was going to do was 
have x treat it like a keyboard or something and map the buttons from my 
controller to the keyboard keys.  I could get my gamepad to do things 
like change system system settings, but that was all.  If you have any 
thoughts or get it working let me know.

Jason
