Also, I found and fixed a bug in the joystick handling code. I was able to map all 7 types of controllers I have on linux without problems, so hopefully this fixes things. I'll kick off some builds and upload them tonight.
Are the families supposed to share configuration or only be a grouping for convenience when searching through menues?
Currently I don't think the Wired and Wireless Xbox360 controllers can share a config, since one uses buttons and one uses axes for the d-pad on Linux.
This is changing soonish, but for current kernels and older ones it will be broken.
