controllers that attach to the HID transport backend, and presents them to
applications over the <b class="Sy">evdev</b> interface.</p>

automatically by <a class="Xr">devmatch(8)</a>. To load the driver manually
at boot time, set the <var class="Va">hgame_load</var> variable to

it to <a class="Xr">loader.conf(5)</a>.</p>
<p class="Pp" id="games">To give user applications access to the game
controllers, allow user access to the
