Hi,

one more information about the nub/joystick driver.

While it DOES work, it's a bit of a hack and can be done in a better
way.
notaz (Grazvydas) suggested to change that driver so that the nubs
report themselves as Input devices for X, so they can be more flexible
and properly configured with the X Server.
