See this link for a start, hopefully, someone else out there has installed one also.

and
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=124
specifically for the gamepad. Read the linux USB page at
http://www.linux-usb.org/introduction.html to get a good feel for USB under linux. Some talk about some versions of linux using older USB code, so read carefully and learn it, live it, love it, and it will love YOU!
