Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal
HAL configures a number of different joysticks (judging from the forums and launchpad) as mice
my particular joystick is a usb thrustmaster (044f:b304 ThrustMaster, Inc. Firestorm Dual Power)
this causes the mouse pointer to jump to the centre of the screen at unpredictable times
I worked round this by using a hal blacklist entry, see BUG #277946 for any example workround .fdi

I can confirm this behavior, with the addition that some other devices, such as tablets aren't detected properly either. Furthermore, I have written a fix against hal_0.5.11-4ubuntu3 and tested it with the following peripherals:
On a 32-bit machine:
* THRUSTMASTER Firestorm Dual Analog 2 --> input.joystick
* Wacom Volito --> input.tablet
* SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad --> input.touchpad
On a 64-bit machine:
* THRUSTMASTER Firestorm Dual Analog 2 --> input.joystick
* Wacom Volito --> input.tablet
