- The right stick and the triggers doesn't work.
The left stick is for movement, but the Dpad is too.
The original button mapping is garbage.
First possibility:
1. Open the folder "GTA San Andreas User Files" (you'll find it in your Documents folder) and rename the file "gta_sa.set" to something like "gta_saold.set" (it doesn't really matter, but make sure that you can restore the original file name if needed).
2. Download my settings file and place it in your "GTA San Andreas User Files" folder.
3. After loading the the profile (on the lower end of this post) and starting the game you have to configure two setting under Options->Display Settings->Advanced, the entries "Resolution" and "Widescreen". The other settings are simply on maximum, if your PC isn't almost antique this should be OK.
It would also be a good idea to have a look on the language setting, if your preferred language isn't English.
- Note: If the game doesn't start anymore with my file, the reason should be that only works with Windows7. Since my WindowsXP settings file also caused this problem under Windows7 I formally expect that.
In this case delete my settings file, rename back your original file and start with the second more ornate possibility.
Second possibility:
Configure the control setting manually under Options->Controller Setup->Redefine Controls like I have written in the following list. Before entering the assignments delete every entry by using Backspace while holding the mouse cursor over an entry.
I recommend to copy&paste this list into notepad and to print from there, that way it fits on only one sheet.

*Does left stick
**We don't need that
***I have no idea where in the game that is used
You also need to select under "Options->Controller Setup" "Configuration: Mouse+Keys" otherwise the right stick wont work, and in the Mouse Settings "Steer with mouse:off" and "Fly with mouse: off".
Profile:
On button "A" Jump is assigned on tap and Sprint on hold.
On a bicycle you can tap A to cycle faster and hold A to use the rear brakes.
Drive-by-shooting: Hold the right stick button and move the stick to the left/right to look there and press the left Stick Button to shoot.
Zoom in/out with Sniper Rifle: hold right stick button+right stick up/down.
Hydra engine control: left shoulder button for up and left shoulder button while holding the right stick button for down (not perfect, but I couldn't find a better solution).
One problem stays, the character still moves with the Dpad too. But the Dpad is required, so it has these double assignments.
