Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 16.04 (today's build), but it's the same for 15.04 and 15.10

When I plug in my SteelSeries SRW-S1 game wheel the mouse pointer is
constrained horizontally unless I use the wheel, which positions the
pointer in the horizontal plane as I steer left or right.

It works fine in kubuntu 14.04

The problem is apparent even during installation of 15.10 and 16.04,
which made my first attempt a bit tricky, until I realised what was
going on.

I installed xserver-xorg-input-evdev-dev and xserver-xorg-input-
joystick-dev, but no difference (I even tried rebooting).

The 16.04 install is just for testing (very impressive. boots from Grub
in 7 seconds!!), so I could probably build a kernel to test any patch,
or could there be an X configuration workaround?
