My gamepad isn't recognized in Slitaz. It's 8bitdo snes style connected via USB.
Is there something I need to do to get Slitaz to see it? Driver? (It does work on same pc under ubuntu).

Slitaz splits off kernel modules into sub-packages to keep the iso as small as possible.
The kernel module sub-packages have the naming convention linux-<subpkgname>.tazpkg for 32-bits kernel and linux64-<subpkgname>.tazpkg for 64-bits kernel.
The user must identify the non-working hardware and it's correct kernel module driver(<drivername>.ko.xz).
Hardware/Kernel module driver identification
If the non-working hardware functions in another linux distro, use lshw
utility to identify the hardware and the kernel driver in use.
Otherwise you will need to use lsusb
before and after plugging in non-working hardware to identify it's vendor and product ID XXXX:XXXX and search linux kernel driver database for the appropriate kernel driver name.
Identify/install package owning the kernel module driver
Then identify and install the kernel module subpkg that is a bits match for your running kernel that owns the proper kernel driver.
tazpkg search-pkgname <drivername>.ko.xz
Thank you so much for your reply. I think this is the relevant piece from lswh under bodhi/ubuntu, although I attached the full output. Now to figure out the kernel module driver.... I think xpad...

3 packages
use uname -a
to determine 32 (slitaz) or 64 bit kernel (slitaz64)
32bit kernel
tazpkg -gi linux-joystick
64bit kernel
tazpkg -gi linux64-joystick
Thanks again!
