I have GreenAsia Gamepad (PSX somewhat clone) and it had the same
problem.

I solved it the following way:

1.- open as root /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2.- Add at the begining of the file following lines:

Section "ServerFlags"
 Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

3.- Save the file, and restart your system. Yes, better restart the
system or gdm. Killing X with CRTL+ALT+Backspace doesn't read always the
xorg.conf
