[solved] Xbox 360 Controller (wired) as mouse

So I'm mouseless but have an unused Xbox 360 Controller. How can I get it to function as a mouse?

ls /dev/input gives:

by-id  by-path  event0  event1  event2  event3  event4  event5  js0  mice  mouse0

and dmesg gives:

usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
input: Microsoft X-Box 360 pad as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/input/input5
usbcore: registered new interface driver xpad
xpad: X-Box pad driver

I've run the usual gamut of google/forum searches to no avail. Seems that most people who do have their controllers functioning as a mouse are looking for ways to disable the behavior. As always, thanks for the help.

Update: Found qjoypad which does the trick
