Darn. I've been trying since yesterday afternoon and it's 5 minutes after
posting here that I leap forward :-/
Reading a few Linux kernel docs, I saw that the "hid" part of the usb code
used joydev.c for interfacing joysticks/pads... well, after a simple
"modprobe joydev", when I "cat /dev/input/js0" I get garbage on the screen
when pressing buttons and moving the pads at last!

And since on Red Hat Linux, /dev/js0 is by default a symlink to
/dev/input/js0 (same for 1, 2 and 3), it now seems to work with just "-jt
4"!

I386 joystick interface initialization...
Joystick: /dev/js0 is Logitech WingMan Cordless Gamepad
Joystick: Built in driver version: 2.1.0
Joystick: Kernel driver version  : 2.1.0
OSD: Info: Joystick 0, 8 axis, 12 buttons

Woohoo, I feel really stupid... it was so simple :-)
Now I'm off to try it and hopefully play!

Matthias
