Trying to get a SNES controller working through a USB Controller Adapter Converter.

After lurking through the Internet, I've found plenty about the various software solutions like qjoypad and jstest-gtk. Of course, I've provided the lsusb:

    Bus 002 Device 006: ID 06a3:8020 Saitek PLC Eclipse Keyboard
    Bus 002 Device 005: ID 1532:0016 Razer USA, Ltd DeathAdder Mouse
    Bus 002 Device 009: ID 046d:0807 Logitech, Inc. Webcam B500
    Bus 002 Device 010: ID 0925:8866 Lakeview Research WiseGroup Ltd, MP-8866 Dual Joypad
    Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

When I try to use the controller, qjoypad doesn't even recognize it, and jstest doesn't seem to recognize it consistently when I press buttons. Any ideas?
