While not oolite-specific, another common linux joystick problem :
Since xorg started using evdev driver (around xorg-server 1.12 iirc) , default settings for evdev joystick caused it to be seen as a mouse and keyboard also. This can be solved by installing xf86-input-joystick package, then adding /etc/X11/xorg.conf-d/50-joystick.conf with this content :
Section "InputClass" Identifier "joystick catchall" MatchIsJoystick "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "joystick" Option "StartKeysEnabled" "False" Option "StartMouseEnabled" "False" EndSection
The StartKeysEnabled and StartMouseEnabled options are the ones that change that behaviour, rest is X defaults for joystick driver.
Thanks. Added this to the page.
