Comment 20 for bug 418470

Well, your gamepad may not be useless in all cases (for instance, for fullscreen games that capture the mouse pointer and do not react to double-clicks).

Here happens with my both controllers : Speedlink 360 style and Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Analog.

Anyway, the problem seems to be that X is not aware of joysticks and just sees pointing devices. If this cannot work automagically as of yet, maybe there is a way to force a specific device not to be used as a pointing device ? (as a custom FDI is not required anymore for my device, I don't know how to specify it now -- and anyway, an easy GUI would be preferable ;-)

Doesn't sound like an easy issue to iron out...
