Public bug reported:

I'm using Intrepid Alpha 6 (64-bit) with all updates.

Problem: When I try to set up my controls in a game, I notice that this
is not possible, as the D-Pad of my joystick controls the mouse cursor
instead. For example, if I go into ZSNES to set up my controller, and it
asks me to press up, when I do, the mouse cursor moves up instead and
ZSNES does not recognize the fact I pressed the button. One of the
gamepad buttons kills X. I also tried the gamepad by going into System
Settings and pressing the buttons there, but again, it moved the mouse
cursor. One of the buttons kills X every time.

The odd part about this is that before I reformatted my machine, it was
working fine. I just decided to start it over, so I know that the
gamepad works and that it's compatible.

Below is the output from ZSNES:
