The joystick port has to be configured with the matching kernel modules
from the linux kernel itself. See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/joystick.txt
You need something like this in your kernel modules config and of course
you need the modules ns558, joydev, analog and gameport:
alias char-major-13 analog
# Type | Meaning
# gamepad | 4/6-button n-axis gamepad
# gamepad8 | 8-button 2-axis gamepad
options analog js=gamepad8
pre-install analog modprobe -k joydev ; modprobe -k ns558
post-remove analog rmmod -r ns558 joydev
bye,
