Try it out!Īnyways, just thought you folks might like to know that there is an alternative to the xboxdrv, and I've found the alternative to work better for me, thus far :D I think it's the "jstest-gtk" package I picked up a while ago, when i was getting my joystick going with Battlefield 2. Secondly, the analogue triggers, are now just static buttons! So I can't take advantage of those axis now :(īut, you might be wondering, what package AM I using then? This is an advertised feature, but I don't quite understand why it's necessary. my experience became worse.įirstly, it immediately enumerates four gamepads, even if they aren't connected. So I installed the ubuntu-xboxdrv package from the relevant ppa. I wanted to see if I could get the battery level of the controller, and force-feedback stuff. So I adjust some minor mapping issue with each gamepad, and it's now working tip top! I get all the axis, and buttons!īut, I felt like I wanted more. I figured I would finally get around to using this on my Linux rig. So I have 2x Xbox 360 wireless controllers, and 1x USB wireless receiver.
