Madcatz Panther XL controller for tremulous under Linux

I'm a new Linux user and Tremulous is the first game I'm trying that runs natively in Linux. I have a Madcatz Panther XL that I really like for FPS. I'd like to use it with Tremulous. To do this I would need to create a config file for the bindings. However, I've never made one but have edited a few for some ID games and for Half-Life so I have a vague idea of what is required. Is it possible to do this in Tremulous? Or, hopefully, maybe someone else has made one.

Any help is most appreciated.

I've used a gamepad for Alice (quake 3 engine) under linux before.
You'll probably want these three packages:
    joy2key
    joystick
    jscalibrator

And then read this: http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3488[/list]
Linux: ~/.tremulous/base/
Mac: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Tremulous/base/
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base\

Thanks for the reply. I'll looking the packages you suggested. I think I already have jscalibrator. I've bookmarked the link you provided.

I don't know if you are familiar with the PXL. It has a joystick for movement and a trackball for looking, along with 17 switches. The nice thing is you never need to hunt for a key on the keyboard.
