(ubuntu 9.10) mapping wireless 360 controller

Post by rflores2323 »

I just bought the microsoft wireless game controller. I am trying to follow this guide to install on ubuntu 9.10.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox3 ... ller%29%29

I have made the directory and have three files in it

however when I get to the last steps

Code: Select all

make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -r xpad
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe xpad
I keep getting errors

The xpad driver has been in the kernel for a great while now, so you shouldn't do this step. (the kernel version is newer than the one you're trying to install) From your logs, it looks like the driver is installed already and your joystick is being correctly detected. The device file is probably /dev/input/js0, not /dev/js0--though you can create a symlink if you want.

Snes9x hasn't had a button maps parameter since version 1.43, so those probably aren't going to work. You'll need to read how to edit the configuration file to configure the joystick for the straight-X11 version of Snes9x. If your computer isn't ancient, you could try the GTK+ version of Snes9x.
