Looks like the ZAxisMapping is wrong...should have all of the buttons
enumerated I believe.

There may be useful info for you about how that works here:

You shouldn't be logging in to a graphical environment as root...but...

How do you boot, to a graphical login or text mode (ie. runlevel 3)?

If it's text mode, open a console, su root, and type "cd" to get to your
home dir. Now create a file called .xinitrc and add a line executing the
WM or desktop you want, ie. exec fluxbox, etc.

This is NOT recommended. You should really always log in as a user, then
perform only specific tasks as root when required.
