Try the one-line perl example in joy(4) to see if your joystick works, for some value of 'works' .. ie actually logs changing axis values and button press/release status. I don't think there's any specific support for joysticks, you pretty much have to write your own. With what program did you hope to use it? Years ago I wrote a little rexx program that read (pseudo) joystick X,Y values and button (actually relay switch) values for detecting and controlling shutdown conditions for a simple-interface Liebert UPS, using the standard joystick / MIDI port on a couple of ISA cards. >From memory it only worked right when device joy was compiled into kernel, not kldloaded - but that was way back around FreeBSD 3.3 .. cheers, Ian
