Download a program called Joystick 2 Mouse. You can assign your joystick 
buttons and axis' to keys. That way you can use them in any game.  Also you 
can put in a autoexec to control the asis in Q2.
Here is an example of one I use:
in_joystick 1 //turns joystick support ON
joy_advanced 1 //turns on advanced axes variables
joy_advaxisy 3 //sets joystick left & right to strafe left & right
joy_sidesensitivity -1//Ramp up speed, higher numbers = get to full strafe 
speed faster.

Just look for the Q2 console commands to set it exactly to fit your needs.
