You should find AmigaInput in the Preferences directory. From there you can configure your USB game pad, although I'm not entirely sure how well it works as I've never used a Sam or OS4. :(

xbox joypad will not work, at least at the moment !
but a lot of others even noname will.
I am using a tech mobility from TechTools and a SpeedLink Strike2 but make sure you got latest AOS4.1 and updates...

You have to register to Hyperion website with the serial number of your AmigaOS4.1 CD and then you will be able to download the 2 updates.

@ carvedeye

I've got my Logitech gamepad working great under OS4.1 Update 2 and with E-UAE under gl_UAE (many have said that RunInUAE works fine too with the gamepad).  I would install update 2 and then see this link at amigans.net http://www.amigans.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=3619&forum=27&post_id=45986#forumpost45986

also, Spirantho over at amigans has been updating many drivers for the Catweasel MK4+ under OS4.1u2 and true SID emulation and the use of classic joysticks should be here soon:)
