It means it works as expected. Most command line applications don't output stuff unless things go wrong.

Ok im haveing the same problem and am useing a 3rd party xbox 360 controller called a "Pelican model #PL-3601" .. i tried the tread and did everything it still does not work in jscalibrator or my snes emulator games.. this is driving me crazy plz help!

here is the output

Code:

lsusb

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Code:

$ sudo tail -fn0 /var/log/messages
Apr 11 18:12:16 jay-desktop kernel: [ 4159.967947] usb 1-4: USB disconnect, address 5

Apr 11 18:12:20 jay-desktop kernel: [ 4161.927615] usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

when I run jscalibrator it does not find the "xpad" and when i try to calibrate it by manually typeing xpad into the top, it will not move. I uninstalled and reinstalled jscalibrator earlier as well.

From a quick look it seems your controller is simply not recognized by the kernel module or the module isn't loaded (check lsmod output).

If the module is loaded and the controller still not recognized, please post the full output of "lsusb -v" or just the section that refers your to controller if you know how to find it.

You could also try the userspace Xbox pad driver:

Just checked, your gamepad isn't supported by the driver. So a little patch is required. You now have three option, any single one of them should work:

1) For the userspace driver xboxdrv I created the patch and commited it. So all you need to do is get the latest version from git and compile that (see README):

Code:

apt-get install \
     libboost1.35-dev \
     scons \
     libusb-dev \
     git-core \
     libx11-dev \
     x11proto-core-dev \
     python-dbus
git clone git://github.com/Grumbel/xboxdrv.git
cd xboxdrv.git
scons

2) If you already have compiled an earlier xboxdrv release yourself without the patch, just start the driver with:

Code:

xboxdrv --device-by-id 0e6f:0201 --type xbox360

Which should work too, even without the patch.

3) If you want to use the kernels native xpad driver instead of xboxdrv, you have to recompile the kernel and patch the xpad.c file, you can find it in:

/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.27/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.c

It contains a simple list of devices into which you need to enter 0e6f:0201, its not a hard fix, but requires that you are familiar with kernel compilation.

git clone git://github.com/Grumbel/xboxdrv.git
cd xboxdrv.git
scons

I got all of the required things downloaded for the scons compile except for libboost1.35-dev, when i do sudo apt-get install libboost1.35-dev, i receive this error

Code:

desktop:~/xboxdrv$ sudo apt-get install libboost1.35-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package libboost1.35-dev

and i get an error trying to scons it without that package

any ideas? Im useing Ubuntu hardy heron.. thanks!

Try libboost-dev instead.

It test twice to install this module. But at each compile process, I get these errors :

Code:

xpad360/xpad.c:340: error: ‘struct input_dev’ has no member named ‘private’
