OK I went out and bought a gamepad Logitech Dual Action Gamepad. I hooked it up and Ubuntu recognized it fine. I checked and joydev and evdev are both running modules. jstest /dev/input/js0 and each movement on any axis or button press registers.
I opened zsnes and go Config ->Input and Set Keys
Up/Down/Left/Right on dpad or axis doesn't register at all. I tried setting a symbolic link from /dev/js0 to /dev/input/js0 just incase it was hard coded somewhere but that didn't seem to help.
Any searches I have tried come up with the same thing "I have a Logitch Dual Action and it works great from the start!"
So what am I doing wrong?
Logitech Dual Action Gamepad Direction "issues"

The dual action is known for having lots of issues (mostly issues about axis detection) specifically with emulators, regardless of the OS and drivers.
Having said that, do you have the Logitech Profiler installed? Outside of toying with drivers and settings, I recommend that you ditch that pad in question and switch to the Logitech Rumblepad 2 instead.
