This signal is then handled in gimp_controllers_event_mapped() as found in gimpcontrollers.c. Here the event is translated into the activation of a GtkAction. As you can see the event's value is multiplied by 1000 and passed with the action. Later this value is then passed to action_select_value() where it is divided by 1000 again and interpreted as an absolute value normalized to the scroll-bar range. This is all a rather bad hack. To some extent it works for controllers that send absolute events. The device you are trying to use there sends relative events values though and all the assumptions that this code relies on break badly. This will need a clever redesign.
