I'm using Ubuntu's 2.6.17-11-generic, maybe it's an Ubuntu-specific patch?

I don't see anything in usbhid about explicitly setting the number of
buttons. There's a PARM that does this for the xpad module, but this is
a module for the Xbox gamepads, not HID gamepads. The dmesg bits say
that your device is HID, not Xbox. Um... I dunno. This may require
kernel-level screwing around to figure out what's really going on with
the device. Get your printk()s out and be prepared to use them....

Oh well, and I hoped to get away without that kernel hacking stuff... ;)
