USB joystick not detected: Guillemot Jet Leader

I'm trying very hard to get my usb joystick to work under Gentoo Linux. As far as I know I have compiled and installed all possible relevant modules: joydev, usbhid, iforce, evdev, as well as all others needed for using usb (since other devices seem to function I don't think the problem is there).
The output of dmesg when turning on the joystick:

Code:

usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

The entry in /proc/bus/usb:

Code:

T:  Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#=  8 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=06f8 ProdID=0003 Rev= 1.00
S:  Manufacturer=Guillemot Corp.
S:  Product=Jet Leader Force Feedback
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr=  2mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E:  Ad=82(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=  16 Ivl=8ms
E:  Ad=01(O) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=  32 Ivl=4ms

lsusb output:

Code:

Bus 003 Device 008: ID 06f8:0003 Guillemot Corp.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I tried adding the proper line to /etc/hotplug/usb.handmap, but still the result doesn't change. Apparently the system had no idea that a joystick is plugged in, and I have no idea how to make it clear that that is the case. Any help would be appreciated.

Where are you trying to use it? I have USB gamepad, detected this way, and it works superb under ZSNES.
