Patch for joystick support on linux-2.4

SDL Development
1

Hi.

I try to use Linux 2.4 unified input interface on SDL-1.2.3,
but SDL-applications can’t open any joystick.
(Of course ‘evdev’ kernel module was loaded correctly…)

Now I wrote tiny patch to fix this problem.
Please confirm and apply it.–
