Maybe I misunderstood some things. Sorry. You don't need to do anything with the
*.patch files. Those are there purely for documentation. They describe the
difference between a current Lucid kernel and the test kernel package [1].

The only thing to be aware of is that installing this kernel should only be done
when you already got the 2.6.32-13-generic kernel from Lucid installed. Mainly
you need the headers. If you do a

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-13-generic

it will either install them or tell you they are already installed. Then you can
download one of the deb files from [1] and install it with

sudo dpkg -i <filename>

Then reboot (make sure the right kernel is running by looking at uname -a which
should have the bugnumber in the version string), check whether the joystick
works, if not unplug the joystick and gather the rdesc information as described
above and post it together with the output of "uname -a".

Thanks for your help.
