Your problem isn't exactly like mine -- I didn't have jstest installed
and so don't know what would have happened with that. But anyway,
everything seemed to be installed and recognized with my USB joystick
but no applications would work with it. So here's what worked for me.
Most applications look for the joystick at: /dev/js0 not
/dev/input/js0. So I added a symlink (ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/js0),
rebooted, and everything worked.
