it'd be nice to use reportbug, so that we know more about your system. Running /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg/script 3>/tmp/script.log and attaching its output would help. > I've installed the joystick input driver yesterday alongside evdev > (also from experimental).

It might make sense to compare both output, both with joystick plugged and unplugged. Mraw, KiBi.
