USB driver won't call probe function

Forgive me if I'm shaky on this, this is the first time that I've tried to write a driver.

I am trying to write a driver for the Trio Linker Plus, which allows one to use a gamecube controller like a joystick. The driver is supposed to emulate the controller as a mouse. The problem is that whenever I plug the device in, joydev always gets loaded and takes over, so the driver's probe function is never called.

If I manually shut off joydev via rmmod, the probe function of my driver is still never called.

Ha! I had to remove usbhid too. Now it probes, although it doesn't work yet...

...and now it works. However, usbhid still interferes with it. I always need to shut off usbhid in order to load my driver, which won't be an option for any person that has a usb keyboard (as I did a few hours ago...)

Is there a way to give my driver priority over usbhid and joydev? Or perhaps tell joydev to not connect the trio linker plus?
