XBox gamepad driver for Linux


Tonight I plugged my Xbox controller to my freshly installed Ubuntu setup. I have been using Windows Xp for at least three years, and I didn’t know it should work natively; so I started to look at existing drivers. I founded out that a project exists, but source code was two years old. I contributed to it and it seemed to work.

After encounting some problems I have to debug this driver. I’ll post any further information here.

    I own an Xbox and a Playstation and both are really good game consoles. Let’s see what are Microsoft’s future updgrades on its Xbox game console..:`

    This wip-driver is not working well, and you shouldn’t use it. If you get no other choices, you may use it, but since I had problems with the kernel module insertion, I think you’d better get the driver from ubuntu’s mainstream repository, or something like this. ;)
