System: NetBSD rainier.reedmedia.net 1.6 NetBSD 1.6 (JCR-20020927) #3: Sat Sep 28 13:40:20 PDT 2002 reed@rainier.reedmedia.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/JCR-20020927 i386

>Description:
I tried defendguin (which I packaged) which uses SDL:

 Warning: Could not open joystick 1.
 The Simple DirectMedia error that occured was:
 /dev/joy0: USB_GET_REPORT_DESC: Device not configured

SDL needs to support /dev/joy? style gameport joysticks in addition
to USB ones.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
I found a patch for FreeBSD at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/devel/sdl12/files/patch-joystick%3a%3absd%3a%3aSDL_sysjoystick.c

It needs to be made more portable.
