Howto Setup Xbox360 Controller in Edgy Elft

[cliffemall502]

I am confused :-/
I cannot get past this part

cd /home/pouesum/.xpad360
sudo make

for some reason my kernel linux headers are 2.6.27-7-generic, 2.6.27-9-generic, 2.6.27-10-generic, and 2.6.27-11-generic

How can I have so many different ones?

pouesum@pouesum-desktop:~/.xpad360$ sudo make
make modules -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic SUBDIRS=/home/pouesum/.xpad360

:-/ Any ideas?

Change the lines 382 and 408 in xpad.c from

struct usb_xpad *xpad = dev->private;

to

struct usb_xpad *xpad = input_get_drvdata(dev);

line 496 from

input_dev->cdev.dev = &intf->dev;

to

input_dev->dev.parent = &intf->dev;

and line 497 from

input_dev->private = xpad;

to

input_set_drvdata(input_dev, xpad);

I hope this works for you.

This way I made the Microsoft XBox360 Gamepad work under Ubuntu 9.04 - Jaunty Jackalope x64.

When I try and run:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-'uname -r' build-essential

I get this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-uname -r

Real new @ linux and trying to get away from *******. Been trying to get my xbox360 (from GameStop) to work with epsxe160. The emulator is working great...please HELP!!!

I went through the steps with the changes for Jaunty as described by Prof_NARF. I still get an error:

swygert@Living-Room ~/.xpad360 $ sudo make

If it makes any difference I am using Mint 8 x64, which is based on Ubuntu Karmic. So what's wrong?

I get this. im using ubuntu 10-04 and also my xpad.ko is under /lib/modules/2.6.32-25-generic/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/lib/modules/2.6.32-25-generic/kernel/drivers/input/joystick

Mine doesn't want to make due to absence of smp_lock.h in the very recent Oneiric Ocelot. What should I do?
