+The Linux Console Project evolves from the command-line tools (jscal, jstest,
+and jsattach) which were included in Version 1 of the Linux Joystick Driver.
+
+The original set of tools has been expanded and now includes utilities to test
+and configure joysticks, connect legacy devices to the kernel's input subsystem
+(providing support for serial mice, touchscreens etc.), and test the input event
+layer.
+
+* this replaces the "joystick" build that was previously available
+* included in this build is a simple udev rule to automatically restore the
+ joystick configuration(s); see the package README in the documentation
+ directory for more specific rules
