Kernel version 2.6.13.2, built from source (as in, non-distro build...)

Any more info wanted or needed? I'm attaching joystick.h...

Seems to compile past this point if I force the joystick menu off. Perhaps the default should be for it to be off?

Fair enough, I suppose. :P

Still, I see nothing of this in the README. You're likely to get more pings about this, once you release 0.19. It wouldn't hurt to have a bit of info in the README, and perhaps turn off joystick support as a default?

This would certainly lessen the number of mailing list queries and bug reports like this. You guys have better things to do, than respond to 1000 queries about "the joystick" issue.
