First you need kernel support for the device - the hardware HOWTO has
location of the patches for the kernel joystick drivers.
Then, I'd suggest checking out the XInput package - I don't use any
XInput devices myself, but it sounds like it might be able to do what
you want.
An altavista search on "linux joystick" can be very informative.
