wired xbox 360 controler for jaunty

[insanecrazy4]

Today i bought a xbox 360 controller for my computer so i can hopefully play emulated snes and n64 games. I also bought it so i can use with my 360 since that controller is almost broken (so it wasnt wasted money). I am having troubles finding a good tutorial to get one working with jaunty and im wondering if anyone would have a good tutorial they would like to share.

I'm having the same problem

Get the user space drivers from here:

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

follow the instructions in the read me and get all of the dependencies.
This command will make get your controller working for N64 games. I use it in Project 64 in WINE just fine.
sudo ./xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --silent

This will map key board stuff for non joy stick games.

sudo ./xboxdrv --silent --ui-clear --dpad-as-button --ui-buttonmap a=XK_a,b=XK_b,x=XK_x,y=XK_y,rb=XK_r,lb=XK_l --ui-buttonmap dl=XK_Left,dr=XK_Right,du=XK_Up,dd=XK_Down

I still need to map the start and back buttons, but that's what I use for supertux and gens/gs.

good luck.

Hi, I have the wireless Xbox 360 controller and it works out-of-the-box in Jaunty 64bit!
A good tool to use is Joystick Calibration (jscalibrator).

[gamelord12]

Will the user space driver load automatically at boot? I don't want to have to manually open that tool all the time. Also, I have 64-bit Jaunty, and according to what I read online, if it detected my controller automatically then the joysticks would control the mouse pointer and there would be all kinds of info on it when I run a certain command in the terminal.

Mine works out of the box as a joystick. Not as a mouse. jscalibrator shows button presses and axises. It can also calibrate axises and etc.
I tried using my rockband drums with jaunty, hydrogen and joy2key and it worked great! Well up to a certain extent that joy2key imposes.
Try out jscalibrator and see if you can see your controller.
