Well I used reportbug, but of course the joystick package was uninstalled at
that time because it made my DE do crazy things. ;)
Attached you'll find the (compressed) log of a manual run.

As you can see from the attached log: MS SideWinder Precision Pro (USB)

No.

xev's output is attached, evtest reports: "evtest: can't get version:
Inappropriate ioctl for device" (that is for the /dev/input/event and for the
/dev/input/mouse devices, called via by-id).

Let me know, if you need something else (for now I've reinstalled the joystick
driver and unplugged the Joystick) and I try to provide the information ASAP.

Kind regards,
