To be honest, I haven't messed with that.  Most games, I just set the 
buttons, and it operates as it should.  Descent3 and FlightSim play very well 
like this (as do others, that I still prefer to move with my mouse tho), 
except Heavy Gear 2.  I think I'm going to have to do the jscal thing with 
it.  I just finished ut and sof, and I'm nearing the end of sin, rune and 
quake3, so I'm going to be needing to get hg2 going.  So far I can't control 
him right with anything - keyboard, mouse or joystick.  :-(  

I think jscal is about the only way to calibrate.  I haven't heard of another.

You may want to try it out in games first, because it may be unnecessary.

Hey, I didn't think of that, jstest --old/dev/js0.  I may fiddle with it.  I 
would like to free up that usb port.
