  I just put the necessary code in my vblank server and presto (just
read potx, poty then write potgo).  Works fine, but what we need now
are analog joysticks with either an adapter or correct value pots (~
1 meg)  With 470k ohm pots and following the Hardware Manual docs,
we can only generate values from 0..49; 1 meg pots bring this range
up to 0..255.  Is this an error in the Hardware Manual or are we
doing something wrong?
