Logitech F310 and incorrect module?

I just purchased myself a little toy: A Logitech Gamepad F310. It looks nice, looks like I'd love to use it, but...

When I plug it in, it causes my mouse cursos to run over to the left edge of the screen and sometimes if I press a button it'll cause my desktops to cycle rapidly.

dmesg, meanwhile, has this to say about the gamepad:

[96349.683735] usb 2-6: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 21
[96349.962028] Registered led device: xpad0
[96349.962138] input: Generic X-Box pad as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-6/2-6:1.0/input/input20
[96349.962663] usbcore: registered new interface driver xpad

(Note that the address is in the 20s because I was disconnecting and reconnecting a few times. Why is my computer deciding my Logitech Gamepad F310 is an XBox controller? How do I get it to realize this is a Logitech gamepad?

Update: I just ran it through jstest. IT appears to register all the buttons and axis correctly. So I suppose all I need to solve is wacky Xorg behavior with it.

I just bought one myself.  To stop the crazy mouse behavior I added

Option "StartKeysEnabled" "False"
Option "StartMouseEnabled" "False"

to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-joystick.conf

I am now trying to figure out how to get it to be recognized with the switch on the bottom in the D setting instead of the X position.

This didn't work for me at all. In fact, Xorg couldn't start until I removed those lines. If anyone has some more tips on how to get this controller working, please let us know. Finding help on Google has proved to be nearly impossible and I'm starting to wonder if the controller will ever work correctly with Xorg.
