Can't detect evdev joysticks.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

 - Operating System (be specific): Arch Linux
 - Machine type (32-bit or 64-bit): 64 bit
 - Mupen64Plus version: 2.0.0 (From Arch repos)
 - Plugins used: mupen64plus-input-sdl

I'm connecting my wiimote to my pc via bluetooth using XWiimote.
While /dev/input/event works and reports all the keystrokes, /dev/input/js 
fails to report d-pad events.
This is why I wanted to use the /dev/input/event (evdev) joystick, but, for 
some reason, mupen64plus refuses to detect it. When I remove the joystick 
kernel module, it says there are 0 SDL joysticks.
