Thanks for the logs. So, yes, it appears that your joypad as a weird report descriptor. It declares 2 Z axis, no Ry and one Rz. The first Z axis seems somewhat correlated to X, but does not seem to add any actual value but noise. If I understand correctly your problem, I can submit a patch which will mute the Z axis, and provide proper Rx,Ry so you won't have to deal with that in userspace. Will this be OK with you?
