Summary: USB Joystick Linux Crash

Initial Comment:
I was wondering why I was crashing with a divide by zero error for 
some time... till I saw a post from DDRManiaX cached in google. 
Apparently this guy's Stepmania would crash at startup when his 
USB Joystick was plugged in. I unplugged my USB pad (which SuSE 
used a standard HID driver for) and now Stepmania runs. Theres a 
problem with this setup: I can't use my pad unless it's plugged in 
obviously, and that means keyboarding. (Kind of boring) 
 
I find it strange that SuSE was able to find drivers for my pad. I am 
using a MadCatz XBOX DDR Dance Pad, with a USB converter. 
 
The arrows in jstest are boolean values and not axis, but the 
buttons A,B,X,Y do not respond. I have start and back though. This 
is due to the Analog nature of the buttons on the XBOX controller 
and it is not interpreted correctly using standard HID drivers. 
 
I'm hoping you guys can come up with a solution, it runs perfectly 
(meh, almost) otherwise. 
 
(This is from a guy that lost his ability to boot Windoze for the time 
being and needs a game to take a break from his repartitioning) 
Attached is my crashinfo.txt
