I also have a Red Hat 7.2 system and when I tried to use my cousin's Microsoft Sidewinder Pro Gamepad, I faced the same problem. The first thing I usually do when encountering this sort of thing is to look at /var/log/messages for any telltale warnings from the kernel that it can't find a certain driver, then I figure out what module depends on what other and finally, I stuff a couple of lines in conf.modules to load the modules when the device is accessed - this kind of thing: alias char-major-13-0 joydev I also had to get this to work with my regular Sidewinder joystick, which plugs into my AWE64 sound card. This card uses the ns558 module - with that in place, the soundcard joystick port worked as well. The joystick devices were allocated in the order that the devices were initialised, so the USB gamepad became /dev/input/js0, and the stick was /dev/input/js1.
