Hi,

This is actually a bug somewhere in SDL or pygame that I haven't had
time to track down - it should be looking at /dev/input/js0 rather than
/dev/js0 (almost no drivers use /dev/js0 anymore). I'll add it to the
FAQ on the site.

You don't need /dev/js0 to be a real character device; on most systems
it's a symlink to /dev/input/js0.
