?  My mouse works on the console but I still have to put things like:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "mouse"
  Driver "mouse"
  Option "CorePointer"
  Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
  Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
  Option "SampleRate" "150"
  Option "Resolution" "180"
  Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

In my xconfig file.  A joystick must require a similar description.
It's the InputDevice description which I can't find docs for.
(for one thing what do you use as a driver ? It won't be "mouse")
