Well, still nothing fixes my gamepad behaviour, so i post some details here, too.

least, if the mouse position from the d-pad or analog would NOT be absolute, so i can really move the mouse with the gamepad and it not jumping back to center position AND if the gamepad would at minimum work in games ;-). I hope this sum up is no spam :D
