Rebuild it with that in the configuration.nix

  nixpkgs.config.KodiPlugin = {
    enablePeripheralJoystick = true;
  };

Not shure if thats right. But does not work.
Of course sadly kodi config is half destroyed or "updated" in a way that
you can switch back without regressions to kodi 16.2.

But thats no new problem. So yes I have a somewhat working old
generation, well that would be fixed if I could do the upgrade
eventually. :)

Its not like that regression is the only one... vpn doesnt start as
example saw a few errors in the bootsequence. Upgrades seem often pretty
painfull in nixos :)

I mean I guess I could solve that problem with buying some hardware
remote mini keyboard, but generaly that should not be such a big problem
in theory :)
