Does jstest work under X then? If not, I doubt that another joystick
object for PD will bring better results. I have my 8-button gamepad
working okay under X/PD with ggee, so I think ggee is not the problem.

What X version are you running and is there any joystick configuration
in you XF86Config[-4]? If there is, try to remove all joystick stuff
from the X configuration InputDevice section. The linux joystick modules
alone should work under X and with PD, too.
