Linux xboxdrv controller not appearing.

[shavera]

I have a Logitech F710 I just got and I'm using the xboxdrv library to run it (works well with mupen64plus at least). I added a udev rule to make it non-root accessible (plugdev group privileges). I put xpad in the modprobe blacklist, and it shows up fine in jstest-gsk. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.
But the controller's not showing up in the configuration utility. Just Xlib/0/Keyboard Mouse and XInput2//Virtual Core Pointer
Any thoughts?

(oh, quick edit, I'm only really interested in playing my old gamecube games, I got rid of my wii a while back, so I'm not looking for wiimote support)

Does it show up in dolpinh? If so what does it call it (i.e sdl/0 ). Screen shot if you prefer.

doesn't show up at all in dolphin. Just Keyboard Mouse and Virtual Core Pointer show up.

Ok then dolphin is not seeing it. I don't know the trick to make that work(maybe someone can chime in here) but for a quick fix you can map it based on even codes.

This is just an example.

xboxdrv --ui-clear \
--evdev /dev/input/js0\ <-- point this to where ever your device is.
--evdev-keymap KEY_#304=back,KEY_#305=a,KEY_#306=b,KEY_#307=x,KEY_#308=y,KEY_#309=start,KEY_#310=tl,KEY_#311=tr \
--evdev-keymap KEY_#312=rt,KEY_#313=lt,KEY_#314=du,KEY_#315=dd,KEY_#316=dl,KEY_#317=dr,KEY_#318=lb,KEY_#319=rb \
--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1 \
--evdev-absmap ABS_RX=x2,ABS_RY=y2 \
\
--ui-buttonmap back=KEY_#304,a=KEY_#305,b=KEY_#306,x=KEY_#307,y=KEY_#308,start=KEY_#309,tl=KEY_#310,tr=KEY_#311 \
--ui-buttonmap rt=KEY_#312,lt=KEY_#313,du=KEY_#314,dd=KEY_#315,dl=KEY_#316,dr=KEY_#317,lb=KEY_#318,rb=KEY_#319 \
--ui-axismap x1=ABS_X,y1=ABS_Y \
--ui-axismap x2=ABS_RX,y2=ABS_RY

Here is some info on that.

Oh sorry that wont work unless the xbox driver shows up... Where is the device according to jtest? Can you undo what you have done and just install the xboxdriver because I know that works.

So I have been running it on just the xboxdrv (xbox driver, to the best of my knowledge). The udev rule was just recommended elsewhere because apparently that helps with steam recognition. I've also just been toying around with the default (for ubuntu) xpad utility, but it wasn't recognizing the device there either. The device is at /dev/input/js0 .

I'm not sure if the black list is causing issues or not but I dont see how. Installing the xboxdrv out of the box works with 14 just fine. This " XInput2//Virtual Core Pointer " implies it found an xinput device but things its a pointer. You may want to give this a reading, lot of good info on there

Yeah, I've undone the blacklist thing trying to start "fresh" but still no dice. I'm on a locally compiled build of dolphin, so I might just try a rebuild? (The deb package wouldn't install due to some libavcodec53 conflicts) otherwise, I'm stumped.

Try a live CD first.
