Note: If you selected at least one mouse axis and one joystick axis in the Control Configuration menu, don't be surprised if the mouse and then the joystick calibration menus appear one after the other : you actually need to calibrate the two devices.

When the calibration is done, press the "Next" button
(yes, the screenshot showes a "Back" one, but it is not totally up-to-date ;-).
