Are you sure this is fixed, because I'm on Xubuntu 14.04 and this still
happens. It locked the cursor to the top of the screen and made all my
programs permanently 90% transparent. Removing xserver-xorg-input-
joystick has no effect.

Title:
  XBox 360 Controller Automatically becomes mouse in Xorg

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in xserver-xorg-input-evdev package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  On Ubuntu Intrepid, Xorg automatically picks up my Wired XBox 360
  controller as a mouse. The joystick moves the cursor.

  I suspect this is not how most users of the XBox 360 controller would
  like to use it. It should not be automatically treated as an Xorg
  input device by default.

  It'd be slightly less problematic if it actually worked correctly,
  however, a button press causes Xorg to restart. I will file another
  bug regarding this.

  Relevant Xorg log section:
