Ok I got a work around so my logitech gamepad now works on kubuntu 8.10 perfectly.
I did configure the axis' via systemsettings first.
Then I created this file "DualActionGamepad.fdi" (attached)
and copied it to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
and restarted hal via /etc/init.d/hal restart (or reboot).
My gamepad/joystick still moves my cursor mouse but in my games all the buttons work perfectly and the gamepad works perfectly.
