[Bug 285609] Re: Mad Catz controller is detected as a mouse by X

[Bryce Harrington]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-joystick
  
  After being advised in bug #274203 to report a bug for each joypad which
  is being detected by X as a mouse, my USB Mad Catz controller since
  testing the Intrepid Beta is now being detected as a mouse when hot-
  plugged. The joypad used to work fine in Hardy.
  
  My joypad is detected as a one button mouse, whereas the analogue stick
  moves the cursor (and at times, cause the cursor to reposition to the
  center of the screen immediately. The consequences of this is that I can
  no longer play any games with my joypad (difficult with one or two games
  I have) or leave it plugged in whilst I am using other applications on
  the computer. The KDE Joystick module in system settings sees my joypad
  but cannot detect any movement on the analogue sticks or button presses.
  
  As per a fix due to bug #274203, my joypad no longer crashes X.
