Joystick D-pad

Hello all,
I'm sure this is probably really easy to do but I have no idea how to do it. I did search but I think I'm being too vague with what I'm searching for so if it's been discussed to death, I apologize.

I'm very new to linux in general, I can get around but a lot of trial and error gets me to where I'm going. I did get a joystick working with no issue but I want to use the D-pad to control XY instead of the analog sticks. I just don't seem to have the control with the analogs. So is there a way to change that??

Second, I want to change the direction of the Z analog. Right now it works left and right, I want it to work up and down since that's the way the Z works on the machine. I'm guessing if someone answers number one, I can hopefully figure out this one.

Third, would be something I found while searching for this answer, using the other buttons as a home or incremental motions.

Not asking for anyone to do this for me, just point me in the right directions. Of course if someone already has this all completed, I'd gladly take it!

Thanks.

Scott

I knew it was something easy. Thanks.

Turned out to be more difficult than I thought...

So when I booted up tonight, the joystick was controlling the mouse. Searching I found to try and uninstall xserver-xorg-input-joystick. So now the joystick is no longer controlling the mouse, but it isn't controlling EMC either. I can see the pins responding to the joystick and I haven't changed any config yet.

If the pins are showing a response, shouldn't it be working??

It helps when you press a button to select speed first....long day.
