Let me get this right... it's 2018 and the "right" way to access joysticks on Linux is still via opening device nodes? Xorg doesn't see and expose them via the X protocol?
Also there's the whole quadratic config problem XKB solved for keyboards: mapping scancodes to logical positions & logical positions to user's layout as 2 separate layers. Joysticks need same thing.

that part actually regresses well :-/ protocol dictates keycodes (linux evdev table). The XKB layout gets pushed to the client as a fd. Each client gets to feed the state machine, making WM injection hazardous.
