This sounds to me as if one of the switches in your hat is bent, and is in the "on" possition even when the hat it centered. I've seen exactly this effect in the past on a Thrustmaster Top Gun stick. Joystick hardware basically sucks. Run jscal and note all the possibilities. What you "should" see is zero for both axes when you don't touch the hat, and independant motion when you do. An 8-way hat switch will also be able to report the corners (both axes at 1, for example). Another possibility is that the analog joystick driver has miscalibrated the axes; as I remember it applies the calibration numbers even to digital axes like hats. What kind of stick do you have?
