The PCI-gameport type drivers that are published use the generic joystick
module, that I don't believe has been developed yet. The generic module only
supported the 15-pin type connectors. It might not be too hard to develop, but
it is legacy device. I think USB joysticks are a bigger challenge.
As a side note on the Device Kit, I always thought it might be fun to extend
the GeekPort API to parallel port functionality. You could use some of the
parallel port digital I/O to control outputs or read digital inputs. Any
thoughts ?
