Logitech F310 Gamepad only works with Display Manager [SOLVED]

So I bought a couple Logitech F310 gamepads, for, well, gaming, and I had a hell of a time trying to get my games to respond to them. I run XMonad, and boot it directly via xinit. On a whim, I tried activating gdm and logging into a gnome session, and presto, my controllers worked. I got a bare bones xmonad session file going, and eventually switched over to lxdm just for testing purposes, and the controllers would continue to work like a charm.
Now, I would prefer to not to have to use a display manager, though it's not a deal breaker (though they seem to introduce other problems -- now systemd hangs on shutdown when I'm using lxdm). Still, I'm curious as to what kind of an effect the mere activation of a display manager could have on the system which would cause it to properly recognize the gamepads. To be clear, without a display manager, the pads are detected, are correctly listed in /dev/input. and I can even run jstest and see that they respond well (though they seem oddly configured), but games will not recognize their existence, and so they're effectively useless.
Any help would be appreciated.

It would appear that this is related to this post as well:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1368721
Here's a list of processes that run when I'm using LXDM, versus XMonad:
kworker/u16:8
kworker/6:2
irq/46-iwlwifi
login
xinit
irq/44-iwlwifi
kworker/2:2
kworker/2:3
lxdm-binary
lxdm-session
gnome-keyring-d
pulseaudio
rtkit-daemon
gconf-helper
gconfd-2
The modules being listed are the same. Definitely an odd problem. I'm just resorting to using LXDM for now, even though I'd rather not.

  • Logitech Pro 4000 not working with new Imac 24"

    Just migrated from a G4 to the new Imac 24"
    Cannot get the Logitech Pro 4000 to work with new mac.
    Contacted Logitech and they said
    "please note that the QuickCam Pro 4000 currently only supports up to Mac OS X 10.2.6"
    However,the cam DID work ,even under 10.4.8 with the old G4...
    Any ideas people..
    Thanks!

    Your nwe iMac is Intel based, which is why the old driver failed/ You could try the driver from IOXperts. They do not mention Intel support, but they do list your camera, and have a free trial.

  • Playbook only works with charger or USB cable despite batter showing 100% charge

    After 2 years of faithful service, playbook only works with charger or USB cable despite batter showing 100% charge. As soon as the cable/charger is unplugged, it just switches off. When cable is plugged in again, and start button pressed, it reboots. I have reinstalled sftwer from scrathc via Desktop Manager, but the problem persists. I saw this problem raised in the fora several times, but never any explanation why it happens. Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    A high resistance between battery lead and motherboard would allow trickle charge but not power discharge.
    If you want to risk it, prise off the back of the playbook using an old credit card, locate the two screws holding on the battery lead, remove, clean up, then replace.  replace back carefully as the antennae connectors are pressure pads.

  • Ws adapter only works with ABAP system?

    Hello all
    I am working with PI 7.1. We have used ws adapter where the corresponding sender or receiver is ABAP system. Now we're trying to use ws sender adapter from Java.
    So ws CC and sender agreement is configured, wsdl is generated. In NWDS CE 7.1 we imported the wsdl, however when we tried to generate web service client from the imported wsdl (from context menu), we got error:
    IWAB0399E Error in generating Java from WSDL:  WSDLException (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portType/wsp:Policy): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL: Encountered unexpected element 'Policy'.:
        WSDLException (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portType/wsp:Policy): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL: Encountered unexpected element 'Policy'.:
        at com.ibm.wsdl.util.xml.DOMUtils.throwWSDLException(Unknown Source)
    Why is that? does it mean ws adapter only works with SAP ABAP system? Anybody used ws adapter with non-abap sender?
    Thanks
    Jayson

    Hi VJ,
    thank you so much for your information. However do you have any official SAP statement saying that? I need to have some kind of proof to show the high-level manager about this.
    Do you also mean that the receiver of ws CC must be also ABAP system?
    We basically can not use soap adapter, because RM is required in our scenario which is only supported by ws adapter, not soap adapter.
    Thanks
    Jayson

  • Hd intel 4000 code 43 on windows 8.1 - It only works with an older driver version

    Hi there I have an HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 PC (HP Pavilion Ultrabook 14), with  a 18FA motherboard - version 82.23,  F.12 Bios, and a Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000.  The graphic card only works with the 9.17.10.2932 (12/12/2012) driver, and everytime I try to update to a newer driver version, it shows the "Code 43" error. Does anyone knows how to update the drive and solve the "Code 43" error? Without solving this issue, I can't install the Windows 10. I've tried to update to Windows 10, but it doesn't run this old graphic display driver and it only gives me a blue screen, and if I install a new driver version, there it comes the "Code 43" error. Thank you, guys.

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion14 Sleekbook and issues with the Drivers for Windows 8.1. If your computer is having problems finding and installing operating system updates, try using the Windows Update Troubleshooting tool to fix the problem.
    I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but  it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
    I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
    Thanks,
    Best Wishes

    When did you buy it?
    Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
    What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.  Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

  • Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

    Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
    I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
    I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
    I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
    IMAP information for the incoming mail server
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 993
    Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
    Password: Your iCloud password

    Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
    Try again.

  • Ipod Classic 160 6th g. doesn't sync w/Imac g5 non intel OS 10.4.11. This is a replacement for same ipod which was stolen recently. That pod worked fine with Itunes 9! Now this pod says it only works with Itunes 10.7. ***!!!! Why has Apple screwed up?

    My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.

    one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file.  Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing  even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
    This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer.   Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar.     Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
    Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
    Ideas?

  • Boot Camp won't make a Windows XP driver disc, OS X disc only works with Win7

    First time Mac user. Just got a new Macbook Pro.
    I have successfully installed Windows XP on the Mac using Boot Camp. But I need the driver disc. The right mouse button doesn't even work and Windows is impossible to navigate without that. The disc eject button does not work, one has to eject a disc using laborious menus. Very frustrating.
    When I run Boot Camp it only has the option to make a Windows 7 driver disc. I don't see any way to make a driver disc for Windows XP.
    Everywhere I have searched on the Net the information says to put the OS X Leopard disc in the drive when WinXP is running and it will automatically install drivers. When I try that a window comes up saying it only works with Windows 7.
    This web site shows screen shots of a Beta version of Boot Camp that makes Windows XP drivers discs.
    http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_install_windows_xp_on_my_mac_using_boot_ca mp_1.html
    How can I make a Windows XP driver disc?
    I really hope Apple didn't discontinue/eliminate the option to make a Windows XP driver disc altogether, forcing everyone to use Windows 7 only...
    Is there a way to install an older version of Boot Camp over the latest version I'm running? Where would I find it?
    Macbook Pro
    OS X 10.6.7
    Boot Camp 3.0.4
    Thank you for your time in helping me on this.

    The retail OS X 10.6.3 DVDs unlike your OEM DVD does have a complete set of drivers for $29 w/o having to deal with questionable bitorrent.
    Microsoft EOL'd XP and Vista SP1.
    Your Mac has Intel Thunderbolt and you don't see Apple doing backward compatibility. You can't run 10.5 on new Mac. So yes it comes with those limitations, but XP is also 20x more vulnerable, IE9 is more secure and XP has not kept up with the latest hardware, besides which I don't see a place or need for a 32-bit OS, any platform today.

  • I purchased Adobe photoshop elements II and Adobe premiere elements II. They are both on one disc. My computer crasded and I had to reload Windows. I only have one serial number and it only works with photoshop II. The same serial number will not work for

    I purchased Adobe photoshop elements II and Adobe premiere elements II. They are both on one disc. My computer crasded and I had to reload Windows. I only have one serial number and it only works with photoshop II. The same serial number will not work for Premiere. I dont have any other serial numbers. What do I do???

    Static_Unit
    I am getting a bit concerned about what is happening in your situation. Yesterday you posted your question in at least two different forums, one of them being here in the Premiere Elements Forum.
    Don't Have Serial Number for Premiere, Only Photoshop?
    Wherever you posted, the reply was to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat. It is the only one who can sort out this matter for you.
    In the thread cited above I offered to help you with the difficulties that you were having visualizing the Adobe Chat in its web page. I was waiting for your follow up on that in the above thread. Instead, I find your same question in a new Adobe Premiere Elements Forum thread this afternoon with no refer the prior threads or prior recommendations given you.
    I will also mention again...when you buy the Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundled in one packaging and with installation files for each on the same installation disc, each program has its own serial number. The Photoshop Elements serial number does not work for Premiere Elements and vice versa. The serial numbers are on labels on a box which houses the installation disc envelope(s). So, if you purchased both programs and found the Photoshop Elements serial number, then the Premiere Elements serial number should be in a label right underneath the label with the serial number for Photoshop Elements. I recall writing this in your yesterday's thread on this matter.
    The moderator will no doubt be along shortly to close or delete this thread. So, just in case, please bookmark your yesterday's thread cited above so that we can continue this communication which is trying to help you.
    Thanks.
