Both my Logitech gamepad and this adapter I have for Saturn gamepads work fine with everything else on my system, but mednafen fails to detect either. I press alt+shift+1 to try and set up my controls and it just won't take any of my gamepad inputs.

Anyone know what might be causing this? It worked fine on Debian so I'm guessing it has to be something Gentoo related.

I had a similar issue, solved it by enabling CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV (Device Drivers > Input device support > Joystick interface) in kernel config.
