A workaround for "Microsoft wired keyboard 600" issues

[dragonfly.lover]

Users (like me) of this keyboard can't select new levels before n°1. The problem is that microsoft keyboard is recognized also as a gamepad (???) and mapped as /dev/input/js0. when the keyboard is not calibrated, the driver sends a fake input that modifies the behaviour of some games ("mark of the ninja" suffers of the same issue).

So i solved calibrating the keyboard using kde's standard calibrating tool (should be similar with gtk equivalents). the pain is that it has to be calibrated every time you boot. The "calibration" consists simply in pushing the ok button for all the 30 axes and more that should be mapped (again:????). somebody has already opened a bug on launchpad to patch the kernel but the status is actually "triaged", that means probably it won't be solved anytime soon.

Thanks, Sergio! Just to note, this issue affects the Linux version of Joe Danger 2 only :)
