I am having great difficulty getting Xmame to recognize my Thrustmaster
joystick under Slackware 9.0.
I start Xmame with xmame -jt 4 and get the following outpur:

out of curiosity, have you tried any other application that uses the
joystick, i.e. ZSNES, Gens, etc? that'd be the first thing I'd try.
failing that, does cat /dev/input/js0 do anything when you press
buttons, move joystick?

I've installed libjsw-1.5.3 and the jscalibrator app sees and calibrates
the stick just fine. And a cat of /dev/input/js0 sees data for all axes
and buttons.

...and I take it you've tried to remap the buttons in the XMame
configuration screens?

I believe so. If you are talking about the screens you get by hitting
the tab key. I tried reconfiguring the four cardinal directions in both
the General, and game specific menus to no avail - except button 0 does
register.
If it helps, I've tried a different joystick as well - a Saitek X36,
and
Just the fact that SOME input(buttons) from the joysticks register with
xmame, but axes do not would seem to suggest that I may have found a
bug. If that is the case, I would be happy to turn on verbose logging,
or recompile it in to my xmame or anything else that would help.
Please let me know
Also, if you could suggest some apps other than Zsnes or The Sega
emulator(they don't seem to want to compile very easily) that I can test
my joystick on, it would be greatly appreciated.
Emulators that use joysticks that I can think of:
snes9x
fce ultra
gens
hu-go
stella
jag_em (virtual jaguar)

I have a USB MS Sidewinder Precision 2 that works in Linux just fine. Links are
setup correctly, and xmame finds it. Running xmame with lunar lander, defender,
gravitar, etc. the fire, thrust buttons work wine, but the axis for moving
