Package: xserver-xorg-input-joystick
Version: 1:1.5.0-6
Severity: important
Tags: experimental
Justification: Makes desktop environment almost unusable.

Dear X Strike Force,
I've installed the joystick input driver yesterday alongside evdev (also
from experimental). And that lead to an unusable desktop environment
(KDE in my case). It seems like joystick is reporting key presses that
didn't happen (the Joystick wasn't touched) or reported multiple events
for keys on my keyboard. E.g. if I'd press the up arrow key in Konsole
it would also report the down arrow, which lead to a constant switch
between an empty line in the shell and the last entry.
If I moved the mouse near the borders of the screen the virtual desktops
would switch in an endless cycle until I moved the mouse back to the
middle of the screen.

Unfortunately nothing is logged to /var/log/Xorg.0.log, so I'm not
entirely sure it's joystick, it might also be evdev which isn't coping
well with joystick. But I'd be happy to assist you in debugging this.

Kind regards,
Kai Wasserbäch
