I discovered a temporary fix for the mouse cursor issue. Like in StR34k's 
xorg.conf, I added a section for the joystick and then added the line :
Option "SendCoreEvents" "false" 
to the InputDevice section for the joystick. Also make sure the device you 
point to is correct for your joystick (check Xorg.0.log for this). This causes 
the joystick to no longer control the mouse cursor, and it appears to work 
normally in games now. This had me going nuts over the last couple of days so 
I'm glad there's finally some way around it. 

I hope that whichever autodetection is causing the joystick to control
the mouse be fixed in time for ibex release so that this behavior is not
enabled by default.
