I've listed the type of joystick I have, just in case it might help out with answering:
Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3d
on linux, mac: [hid] by H.C.Steiner on windows: i think [joystick], but don't really know
joystick (j. sarlo's) is linux only (AFAIT - I doubt you'll find /dev/js* on windos systems)
