Workaround for my gamepad model. Probably not immediately useful to too many people since you'll have to change the matching criteria if your joystick isn't exactly the same as mine. Then:
sudo cp 95-joystick.fdi /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/ sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
And after restarting X, it doesn't seem to crash anymore.
