Binary package hint: xorg

On Ubuntu Intrepid, Xorg automatically picks up my Wired XBox 360 controller as a mouse. The joystick moves the cursor.

I suspect this is not how most users of the XBox 360 controller would like to use it. It should not be automatically treated as an Xorg input device by default.

It'd be slightly less problematic if it actually worked correctly, however, a button press causes Xorg to restart. I will file another bug regarding this.

Relevant Xorg log section:
