And following your compile instructions only brings me grief as well
I compiled the one from CVS instead of from the website, and it worked fine. Which brings me to the next problem:
My Gamepad shows up on /dev/input/js0, and the HID kernel drivers don't create any /dev/input/event nodes. So the [hid] object cannot read the gamepad, even though it is there. I don't know how exactly this happens, perhaps it has something to do with the Udev system. But searching around on various forums, it seems like lots of people have gamepads at /dev/input/jsX nodes, so perhaps it would make sense that [hid] could accomodate that?
best, derek
