Created attachment 268181 [details] complete build log x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick-1.5.0 is incompatible with the xorg-server ABI 12 (used by >=xorg-server-1.9.99.2). Support for xorg-server-1.10 has been added in upstream git (see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-joystick/commit/?id=8c7ad54d6d869bb4202aee8408c72ed72bf929a7), but does not exist in any released version. As a result, attempting to build xf86-input-joystick-1.5.0 with xorg-server-1.10.0.901 will fail; see attached build log.
I made an ebuild from upstream git master, just updated for ABI 12: http://www.gentoogeek.org/portage-overlay/x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick/ I called it 1.5.9 since it would seem appropriate for upstream to release a 1.6.0 Real Soon Now... The source package is here: http://www.gentoogeek.org/files/xf86-input-joystick-1.5.9.tar.gz

Proper snapshot is in main tree now, tiny issue is that it has tendency to crash X if device is unplugged
Crash fixed upstream with commit 4358209e7e4 and official release of 1.6.0. Renaming of 1.5.0 ebuild should generally work.
Marking as fixed now that xf86-input-joystick-1.6.0 is in portage
