How do I get my joysticks to work in Linux?

I have a Saitek X52 and Logiteck Extreme 3D Pro. For the X52 I installed libx52pro0 from the package manager, but don't know where it is. I've tried running locate libx52pro0, whereis libx52pro0, and find libx52pro0, but got no results.

I've installed joystick, also from the PM, and ran jstest --normal /dev/input/js0 that output:

Code:
Driver version is 2.1.0.
Joystick (Saitek Saitek X52 Flight Control System) has 11 axes (X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry, Rz, Throttle, Hat0X, Hat0Y, (null), (null))
and 34 buttons (Trigger, ThumbBtn, ThumbBtn2, TopBtn, TopBtn2, PinkieBtn, BaseBtn, BaseBtn2, BaseBtn3, BaseBtn4, BaseBtn5, BaseBtn6, BtnDead, BtnA, BtnB, BtnC, (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null), (null)).

I've got no idea how to use these commands. I wish there were a graphical user interface instead.

Usage: jscal <device>
So then do it what it tells you; run the following:
Code:
jscal -s /dev/input/js0
jscal is used to calibrate your joysticks. Once calibrated, you can then use them in whatever program you choose.

I got it from jstest --normal /dev/input/js0. I don't see why jscal won't work with the same device. Can any programs actually see your joystick?

The obvious test would be to run a program that uses a joystick and see if the joystick works.

I've not yet found a game that allows use of a joystick. What I need is a joystick mapper. Do you have any suggestions for either game or mapper?

Sorry I have to say that, but Wikipedia comes up with a perfect explanation of the term "XWindows". It is the first hit if you try to do a Google-search for this term. Don't expect to be spoon-fed, a simple search on the web should be the first what to try if you search an explanation for something you don't know.
For a game that comes with joystick support, you can try Vega Strike.

Do you know why Synaptic Package Manager would only show vegastrike-data and vegastrike-music?

Sorry, I a not using Ubuntu, so I don't know. According to the Ubuntu package search, Ubuntu 9.10 was the last version that contained the actual game. After a little research I found that the game Supertux also supports joysticks.

QJoyPad's Requirements call for Trolltech's QT. If I download Qt Creator 2.2 Beta Linux 32-bit Online Installer, from here, and then double click the icon to install, I get the error in the screenshot (The same with Qt SDK 1.1 Beta):

May I ask why you don't install QT through from Ubuntu's repository? Downloading and installing binaries is not the way it is done in Linux, you qill have problems with that if you don't know what you are doing. By the way, you can get QJoypad pre-compiled for Ubuntu from the GetDeb Games PPA.

I forgot to check. If it's libqt3-mt then I already had it installed. The Requirement of A Linux kernel with joystick support is complicated, so I don't know if I meet this one.

I'll work on the kernel later. Based on what I read elsewhere, I've now installed libxtst-dev, X11 Record extension library (development headers), for XWindows. I also installed qdevelop, A development environment entirely dedicated to Qt4, for Trolltech's QT, but I'm not sure about this one.
