Mark, I had the same error messages, they are generated because there
are two id's that match joystick's name. I don't know which one of the
two is actually for controlling the joystick events, so I set properties
for both. The errors are for second id.
If you are bothered with the messages, you could change xinput set lines to:
xinput set-prop $id "Generate Mouse Events" 0 2>/dev/null
xinput set-prop $id "Generate Key Events" 0 2>/dev/null
(it maybe needs to be 1>/dev/null, I'm not sure)
And, to be free of mouse acrobatics, go to keyboard
preferences/shortcuts/custom shortcuts and create keyboard shortcut for
activating your script (for example, ctrl+alt+j should be free for use).
This way, you'll never see any output, not even the error messages...

Title:
USB Gamepad detected as mouse (Speedlink 360 style)
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Hi !
My USB gamepad is controlling both the mouse pointer AND the joystick
(in rrootage for instance) at the same time.
To get it running at all I had to :
- install xserver-xorg-input-joystick
- copy acrux-usb-gamepad-8116.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy (provided here :
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joystick_lshal_outputs_done )
- unplug and replug the joystick after the X server is loaded
Those three steps are apparently mandatory otherwise nothing works.
(the stick LED doesn't remain lit otherwise)
Actually it raises several issues !
1. the need for the the aforementioned steps
2. the need to unplug / replug
3. the fact that evdev seems to lock the controller and assign it as if it
were a mouse
Thanks a lot for reading this,
cheers !
Attached : lshal output, where the gamepad does seem to be detected
properly.
