Are you sure you are running the new kernel? (cat /proc/version ..)
Do you need module ohci-hcd for low speed or full speed devices?

Sorry, I don't know anything about the TS7800 build system, but I'm
sure it's all outlined in the manual. With vanilla kernels I use
'make modules_install'.

So this is an improvement, right?

One other thing you could try would be to build most everything
related to USB, xpad, joysticks, etc. into the kernel rather than
loadable modules. Especially if it is something you want to use all
the time. Then be sure you are running the new kernel ...

[OT] You know that the locate command uses a database that's updated
nightly, right? (At least on my system). So 'touch a_new_joydev;
locate joydev' won't find the new file until the db is updated.
