Dear Maintainer,

under libsdl2 my gamepad (A "hama PC-Gamepad Black Force", recognized as
"DragonRise Inc.   Generic   USB  Joystick") is not recognized anymore
(it is using libsdl1.2). This came up when trying to use mupen64plus,
which complained about no joysticks being found.

I got the source to both via apt-get source and ran test/testjoystick,
outputs:

mero at rincewind ~/src$ ./libsdl1.2-1.2.15/test/testjoystick 
There are 1 joysticks attached
Joystick 0: DragonRise Inc.   Generic   USB  Joystick  
       axes: 7
      balls: 0
       hats: 0
    buttons: 12
mero at rincewind ~/src$ ./libsdl2-2.0.1+dfsg1/test/testjoystick 
INFO: There are 0 joysticks attached

I would appreciate help troubleshooting this further and finding a
workaround.
