Hi, I've posted your test program to the ubuntu bug, and also sent it along to the SDL mailing list.
The best chance of getting joystick working in the short term(6-12 months) however is to include a python joystick implementation in pygame. I know there's been some implementations floating around... I'll ask Simon Wittber if he wants to contribute what he has done to pygame... and maybe we can modify that to work well enough. My mission tomorrow will be to buy another joystick, so I can debug it myself... damn... I had two of them last time I moved... and also 6 dance mats... but now nothing. cu.
