Is there a workaround for the D2X Joystick Bug?

I'm running Windows XP Pro, SP1.  I have a Sidewinder 3D Pro joystick
on the joystick port of a Sound Blaster Live! Value.

Other Information:

Mobo:  IWill KK266 (uses KT133A chipset)
1 GHz T-Bird @ double-pumped 133 MHz FSB
768 MB RAM
nostromo n50 speedpad
Logitech MX700 cordless mouse
Game Voice
Gainward GeForce3

None of the other peripherals probably matter all that much.

Probably there isn't a workaround, but I thought I'd ask anyway.  I
just got my old Sidewinder 3D Pro working, so I'm a bit pissed that it
doesn't work with the OpenGL version of D2.  :)
