Games :: Using a USB controller in ZSNES

I've just installed DSL for the first time, and with the exception of a few minor problems, everything seems to work fine.

I started up ZSNES after installing through APT, and it seems fine, but my only problem is that the system doesn't recognize the USB controller plugged into the system. My guess is that the kernel is stripped-down enough that it doesn't recognize it. What will it take me to get this functionality in my DSL install? Is there another kernel I can download that has this built-in?
