Joystick problems on linux

First of all system spec :
Ubuntu Linux  (debian)
Athlon 1800+
advmame and advmenu configured for SDL

I currently have a PS2 controller plugged-in trough the EMS joypad 2
wich lets me connect 2 controllers trough USB. I configured it with
jscalibrator and everything was going well until I retried to map the
keys in advmame.

Before that I used a Microsoft gamepad wich worked out-of-the-box.

Now, when I first fired up advmenu the thing kept scrolling down
without anyindication of willing to go up. I thought it was a problem
with my calibration so I installed jscalibrator to calibrate the
controller and it worked quite well in the program the axis were a
little confused but all in all it should've worked. Now, I fire up
advmenu again and I don't get any input from the axis but the buttons
work. I fire up a game and when I try to register axis controls it
won't detect it (but normal buttons work). I was wondering if I messed
up something so I plugged my Microsoft controller back in and
calibrated it and fire up advmenu again. The problem persisted even
with the controller that worked before (in MENU and MAME).

I checked in jscalibrator and I think I found a possible problem. When
it callibrates the axix it does so with a value from 0 to 63 on each
side. That would make 128 possibilities wich is probable but I think
that the programs wait for a 255 value. I tried to fix it in
jscalibrator but to no avail.

Anyone with any suggestions how to fix this and maybe make my
controller usable too?
