Looks like the fix for using mouse buttons for games in windowed mode breaks this. I will revert that fix.

Removing the patch did not lead to the result.

After some research I found a patch upstream, which fixes the problem with the joystick. Everything worked fine after its application.

Ah... it was not that patch but rebuilding with newer kernel headers. Thanks.
