    9.10 : XBox Controllers recognized, but won't work in emulators

    I just upgraded to 9.10, and am having a tough time getting my XBox (original via XBox -> USB Hub) and XBox 360 Wired controllers to control anything in mupen64, zsnes or snes9x...

    So, what works:

    - lshal | grep -i xbox -> returns Xbox360 Controller and Xbox Controller S
    - grep -i x-box /var/log/* -> Plenty of log messages re: controllers being active
    - jscal -> I can see various axes and buttons doing stuff to the jscal output
    - cat /dev/input/js0 -> random binary stuff spewed to screen as I manipulate controllers
    - running mupen, zsnes or snes9x from CLI -> All of them recognize that there is a joystick attached. Can also see that there is a joystick available in menus/configuration

    What doesn't work:
    - When I'm in-game, nothing seems to actually happen... no buttons register and I can't actually do anything. In snes9express, I could even map the buttons and see them work on screen (the weird little GUI shows you pushing buttons), but again, in game, nada.

    Any ideas? I have:

    - Tried with and without jscal installed
    - Tried with and without xserver-xorg-input-joystick
    - Added .fdi files to /etc/hal/fdi/policy to make sure X11 is ignoring the controllers.
    - Done lots of googling and trying stuff, but to no avail...
