Does it work with [linuxevent]? Are you getting data out of the /dev/ input/event2 interface? You can just cat it to see if it outputs when you move the joystick (i.e. cat /dev/input/event2).
My guess is that it might output data via a /dev/input/js? device rather than a /dev/input/event? device. [hid] and [linuxevent] need the /dev/input/event? device.

Hi all, Hans especially,
I tried to use the GameCube joystick with pd recently. GameCube pad needs a USB adapter and I'd swear it used to work with some joystick extern in pd a couple of years ago.
First I tried with the (deprecated?) [linuxjoystick] and today with [hid].
[linuxjoystick] reports this:
