I also have the P3000. Fun joystick except one of my batteries died. I use qstick/kbstick as described http://www.ditch.org/kbstick/ It turns the joystick moves into keyboard strokes, kind of like lirc. You configure what you want all the buttons to do. Mine are linked to up/down/home/end, etc. The downside is that unless you come up with a kill/restart mechanism, you need to convert xmame (or whatever you are using), to use those keybindings and NOT the joystick directly. You actually need to force joystick=0 or whatever or else xmame will croak. The below script lives in my /usr/local/bin/ and I link to it in Autostart to start on boot. I have heard of native joystick support in myth but do not knows its status.
Here is my qstick:[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# cat /home/mythtv/.kde/Autostart/qstick#!/bin/sh# This shell script part of the QStick package, which uses the KBStick# program to translate joystick messages into keyboard messages which
# are sent to an X server, to the end of adding joystick support to# keyboard-and-mouse or keyboard only games.## KBStick is released under the GNU Public License, please see the# source code, Makefile and README file for more information.
