In the xmame makefile, in the "Input Devices" section, you may need to
uncomment the joystick type you want (probably JOY_I386 = 1 for i386)

When running xmame, add the correct joystick type to your command line
(probably -jt 4)

You can probably set-up a ~/.xmame/xmamerc file that has your most
frequent command line options.

Have fun! xmame can take lotsa time off your hands.
