Do you actually have a joystick device configured in your kernel?

The joystick code in quake2 is quite untested, but the game runs fine on my
tibook without any joystick devices, and without any special flags.  I
suspect that something else is the cause of this problem, but I would need
some more information about it.  

Let me check my notes and I'll see if there's anything you could try.
