Ok.
First of all my joystick works. JSTestGTK shows all axes and buttons functioning.
Install Rebirth -
Throttle is on Twist
Joystick Strafes instead of turning
CANNOT remap axes - which is strange as it works fine on XBox Controller just Pad is rubbish for flying a ship / plane .
Found inputmap.xml
<range id="INPUT_RANGE_STEERING_YAW" source="INPUT_SOURCE_JOYAXES" code="INPUT_JOYAXIS_Z"/>
<range id="INPUT_RANGE_STEERING_PITCH" source="INPUT_SOURCE_JOYAXES" code="INPUT_JOYAXIS_Y"/>
<range id="INPUT_RANGE_STEERING_ROLL" source="INPUT_SOURCE_JOYAXES" code="INPUT_JOYAXIS_X"/>
Get my joystick yaw pitch and roll working how I want.
I can't figure out how rebirth recognises the throttle on the Sidewinder FFB2 though
I tried INPUT_JOYAXIS_RX, RY, RZ and U and now I'm asking for help . I did have it working a long time ago (2013). But I've forgotten how.

Re: Linux: Throttle Problem on Sidewinder Force Feeback 2 Joystick
Ok I found the fix for this.
It's in config.xml
you need to find the line
<gamepadmode>1</gamepadmode>
and change that nasty little numer 1 to a big fat friendly numeral 0
Now the stick can be remapped in game as normal. No more xml file editing.
