Xbox 360 Controller in Feisty

[SerraAvenger]

oookay.

I was having the same problems like BigSilly (?) on the first few pages, with the same gamepad.

xpad is blacklisted, endpoints had been tested hardcoded as both 1 and 2, but it still wouldn't allow the driver to claim that interface.
So I did a little bit of treachery, stealing the interface from the kernel (not my code, stolen from here http://www.c-plusplus.de/forum/viewt...is-243643.html)

void forceClaimInterface( usb_dev_handle *targetDevice, int interfaceNumber ){
    int nRet = -1;
    for( int i = 0; i < nRetries; i++)
    {
        if(1)
        {
            nRet = usb_claim_interface( targetDevice, interfaceNumber);
            if( nRet < 0)
            {
                std::cerr << "openUSBDevice: try to claim interface again..." << std::endl;
                if( usb_detach_kernel_driver_np( targetDevice, interfaceNumber ) < 0)
                {
                    printf( "failed to detach kernel driver from USB device...");
                    return;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                std::cerr << "openUSBDevice: claimed interface successfully" << std::endl;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

and then it told me this:

openUSBDevice: try to claim interface again...
openUSBDevice: claimed interface successfully

Starting with uinput... done

Your Xbox/Xbox360 controller should now be available as:
  /dev/input/js0
  /dev/input/event5

Press Ctrl-c to quit

Well. When using jstest, js0 and event5 are removed again, and jstest tells me those files do not exist (they are removed when using jstest, not before).

When disconnecting and reconnecting the gamepad to the usb-port, a new js0 is created.
Both jscalibrator and jstest then think to know my device, but don't react to any buttons/pads whatsoever.

any idea on what to do?
EDIT: Wrong thread. Actually should have landed in here.

[Grumbel]

Well. When using jstest, js0 and event5 are removed again,

xboxdrv only guesses the names of js0 and event5, it does not actually know if the devices where created or what their exact names are, so its more likely that xboxdrv is wrong neither ever got created in the first place instead of them disappearing later on.

When disconnecting and reconnecting the gamepad to the usb-port, a new js0 is created.

That (along with the claiming issue) indicates that there is something else grabbing control of the pads instead of xboxdrv and that might be causing trouble. So I would try to find what it is. Plug in the joystick and see what dependencies 'lsmod' list for the joydev module, a look at 'dmesg' might also help.

One issue might be that xpad simply isn't blacklisted. On the latest Ubuntu the naming seems to have changed and files in modprobe.d now require a .conf ending. So try blacklisting xpad in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf instead of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. Also verify with 'lsmod' that its really gone and doesn't come back when you plug in the pad.

If all that doesn't help: What controller are you using (Xbox1, Xbox360, first party, third party, etc.)?

Is there a tar.gz, to do :

./configure
make 
make install

play with insmod and rmmod, and see the gamepad working on a 2.6.18 kernel?


alternatively to run to see it working:

rmmod XX
modprobe XXXX
insmod XX.ko

[Grumbel]

Is there a tar.gz, to do

Thats what xboxdrv is for, see README for details:

http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/

You could also just try "modprobe xpad", however in 2.6.18 the driver might still be broken.

[frenchn00b]

Uranium235,

Sure thing:

$ tar xvzf /path/to/xpad360.tar.gz
$ cd xpad360
$ make
$ sudo make install

If you want to back up the original xpad driver (run before `sudo make install` above):

$ cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/input/xpad.ko xpad.ko.orig

before crashing the pc changing the filesystem, you can test it with :

make 
rmmod the running pad driver (which one is it?)
insmod xpad.ko

[frenchn00b]

Thats what xboxdrv is for, see README for details:

thanks Grumbel! I am testing / trying now ...

xbox 360 you gave is too difficult to be installed

here a xpad.ko working for the gamepad xbox
but i cannot get it for 2.6.18 working

insmod xpad.ko

dmesg said on a 2.6.30 kernel:

not working still for the 2.6.18 kernel

you need to be capable to compile. ./configure ; make ; make install will not be a secret for you.
Try this code once and you'll be able to compile with QT, GCC, ... :

#!/bin/sh
echo " ==========   "
echo "QTDIR is :  $QTDIR"
echo "---Listing /usr/share/qt-----------"
ls /usr/share/qt* 
ls /usr/bin/gcc* -lha



echo "--------------"
printf "Type which QT3 or QT4 to use, but plz type qt3: "
read qtversion
export QTDIR="/usr/share/$qtversion"
echo "Configuring to: /usr/share/$qtversion"
echo " "
echo " "
echo " "
echo "---Listing /usr/bin/gcc-----------"
ls /usr/bin/gcc* 
echo "--------------"
printf "Type which 3.4 or 4.3 to use, but plz type 4.3: "

this driver is not working for 2 players.

If we are talking about xboxdrv, you have to start the driver twice, once for each controller and give the proper "--wid" on startup. This hasn't been tested much, but should work and if not its not hard to fix.
