Whatever joystick is plugged (Saitek Cyborg / Speedlink Encounter) the xorg assume it is a mouse.

(II) config/hal: Adding input device SAITEK CYBORG 3D USB
(**) SAITEK CYBORG 3D USB: always reports core events
(**) SAITEK CYBORG 3D USB: Device: "/dev/input/event2"

(II) SAITEK CYBORG 3D USB: Found 1 mouse buttons
(II) SAITEK CYBORG 3D USB: Configuring as mouse

So the pointer stands jumping on a place on the screen, can be moved by pulling the jostick. Only of all usb sticks are unplugged, the mouse can be used normally. My mouse is plugged to the ps/2 port.
