The vast majority of computers have no joystick anyway, thus having no support for it on non-linux architectures is no big deal. Also, from what I heard, kfreebsd users want it for certain servery features, not to play games, thus there's probably no pressing need to add such support. Sure, it _is_ a defect in the package, but if you have no knowledge how to fix it, it's better to mark it as unsupported for now. This would make the Architecture string "amd64 i386 x32" (I just verified that it works on x32) if it should be x86-only, or "linux-any" otherwise. > > Also, was the package actually broken on non-x86?

Many years ago indeed most popular chipsets had only GLES drivers, with no support for regular GL, but as far as I know, this is no longer true.

I don't understand -- why would you then disable the vast majority of linux architectures, yet enable all non-linux ones?
