Quick fix so I can play flightgear:

on joydev_connect, created absmin and absmax to avoid messing dev
variables (pointer)

if current position (dev->abs) is not in range:

if (dev->abs[j] > dev->absmax[j] || dev->abs[j] < dev->absmin[j]) {
     absmin = 0;
     absmax = dev->abs[j] * 2;
}

problems:
 - it only works when joy is centred at connection
 - it assumes the joy will report correct positions (instead of uncalibrated)

Now I'll figure out how to turn off button 12...
