Not that I have any clue what I'm talking about here, but Joystick 
support is usually provided by the BJoystick class. How it interacts 
with the device is not defined anywhere AFAIK (and I could be wrong 
there), but it should be relatively easy to come up with a protocol.
As for the input_server, I would just write an (optional!) add-on that 
uses BJoystick to translate joystick "action" to mouse moved messages. 
Note that this might clash with what games would expect (especially 
those allowing both input devices to be used), so I'm not sure this add
-on should work like this always, or eventually be enabled by a special 
short cut key.

Bye,
