<para>
A place to observe the pressed state of buttons on your joystick and when the buttons
are mapped correctly. When a joystick button is pressed, <guilabel>PRESSED</guilabel> will appear
next to the logical number (as the computer sees it) of the button which was
pressed.

<varlistentry><term><guilabel>Axes</guilabel></term>
<listitem>
<para>
This displays the numerical values of the axis positions. 0 is centered and the
maximum and minimum values depend on the joystick and the particular axis.

Each axis will have to be moved to the minimum position, then the center, and finally the
maximum position. A meter in the bottom left corner of the dialog will help
determine which way increases and which way decreases the values.
