If you want to use xboxdrv you have to blacklist xpad
> add "blacklist xpad" to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
xboxdrv may need root access to the appropriate /dev/input/xxN device node which is why i run it from rc.local. if you want to run it on the command line for testing, don't forget to sudo.
once you have xboxdrv loaded (it will not terminate if it runs correctly) use another console window to run jstest (if you don't have it, install the joystick package)
with that you can see whether or not your joystick is being read properly.
since you are probably using xpad still, no there is no way to adjust sensitivity (well, there may be with the joystick utils)
with xboxdrv there is a deadzone parameter which works marvellously. another reason why i use xboxdrv.
original xbox didn't use the left analog stick for anything either afaik, i think it was just a matter of not having a need to assign anything to it
