No, I just need more free time to finally get to it. Actually, if
it's attached as uhid, it may already work in e.g. SDL games.

If it doesn't, it
- Uses some non-standart report (i.e. reporting buttons/axes as
  'vendor-specific' values, which software doesn't know how to deal
  with). In this case the report should be analyzed and a simple
  wrapper driver may be written)
- Is the same case as with my M$ joystick, which uses standart, but a
  just a bit unusual report, which e.g. SDL is unable to parse. This
  should be fixed by my long-planned rewrite of HID parser for SDL,
  which will also be useable in OIS and possibly other libs.

Let's start with

usbhidctl -f /dev/uhid0 -r
