Joystick (Speedlink 360 Style Gamepad) not working out of the box

[Mahendra Tallur]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

This bug already existed in Jaunty.

It is really simple : this USB Gamepad doesn't work out of the box. In order to get it working I have to :

- install the package xorg-input-joystick
- copy a .fdi file provided here to /etc/hal/fdi/policy ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joystick_lshal_outputs_done ) in order to get it working and force its recognition

Then it works but controls both the mouse and the joystick which is annoying with non-fullscreen games.

Also, another issue : the axis of the second stick of the pad are not mapped correctly. (directions are "rotated")
