Steering wheel issues

I'm experimenting with a Thrustmaster Formula T2 steering wheel, and the feedback I'm getting in Dashboard (using the default code) is not what I would expect. When the wheel is centered, I get a value of 0 from p1_x. All the way to the left is 255. Turning to the right does nothing. p1_y stays stuck on 0 when I push the pedals. I'm getting the impression that perhaps the wheel has a non-standard pinout, but I'm not entirely sure. I know the wheel works just fine otherwise, because I've tested it with racing games on my computer. Has anybody else had this trouble programming a steering wheel to drive their robot?
