[solved] Getting xbox 360 controller to work in Skyrim with xboxdrv

I am trying to get my xbox 360 controller to work in Skyrim. I installed xboxdrv from AUR and I can get it running with no problems. I have xinput installed in the prefix via winetricks. I've blacklisted xpad kernel module and have xboxdrv running as a systemd service. Xbox controller support is turned on in the game's options.
The issue I'm having is that the controller will still only operate with certain games, which are the games that can use it with the regular xpad kernel module.
Here's some details about the set-up:
√ systemd service:
[Unit]
Description = xboxdrv
[Service]
User = root
Type = simple
ExecStart = /usr/bin/xboxdrv -D -c /etc/conf.d/xboxdrv
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target
√ xboxdrv config:
[xboxdrv]
silent = true
mimic-xpad = true
#force-feedback = true
chatpad = true
led = 2
[xboxdrv-daemon]
detach = true
dbus = disabled
√ xinput winetrick is installed:
Anyone see anything wrong with my setup?

  • I am trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work on my Mac.

    I am trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work on my Mac. I have installed the suggested driver and the program ControllerMate. The Mac sees the controller because it shows up and responds. The program ControllerMate also sees the controller and responds appropriately, but the game (Minecraft) doesn't. HAs anyone else cracked this nut or have advice?

    Try using the resetting SMC procedure
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    You may have done something similar already, but do it precisely as described.  You should disconnect ALL peripheral devices, except for Apple keyboard and mouse.
    Also, when you plug it back in, if the iMac is currently plugged into an old (or overcrowded) power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it directly to a wall outlet by itself. 

  • Xbox 360 controller not working

    I plug in the controller, lights up for a sec, then nothing. I've read MANY similar problems, but they are all from a couple years back and none of those solutions work now. I am using an official Xbox 360 wired controller to play Boarderlands 2, which I bought from the Mac App store and claims to support that controller. Please help. Thanks.

    Yup it does, under USB Hub:
    Controller:

  • How do I use the Xbox 360 controller

    Hello,
    As everyone knows the XBOX 360 controller is the definitive controller for Windows gaming.
    I'm working on two projects now.  One in Flash and one in Unreal Engine.  I thought,"Wouldn't it be great to work on three projects at once."
    So the idea came to me that a comedic style hockey game could be made in Flash.  Flash is great for action games, and the P2P networking(thought could have been done better) is just sufficient to make a good multiplayer experience.
    I do not however want an action oriented hockey game without analog sticks.  I've gotten the XBOX 360 controller to work in C/C++ in a Tekken Style Open Wolrd Game, and it was great.  Where do I get the XBOX360 code to integrate them into a flash game?
    ,Jim

    The GameInput API's for Actionscript 3.0. You can get when you download and install the Adobe Gaming SDK, after that you would need to import the SWC.

  • Xbox 360 controller support

    I've found a couple of old threads that require a recompilation of the kernel or a kernel patch (I think) or recompilation of a module in order to get XBox 360 controller working, but those were from 2.6.24 or 2.6.28. Is that still necessary? Can someone point me in the right direction for how to get my box to recognize and use the XBox 360 controller? I've modprobed joydev and xpad, but all dmesg says when I plug in the controller is
    usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
    usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
    Suggestions?

    Grid Wars looks for the joysticks registered as /dev/js(0,1,2,etc). So if you ever get the controller registered under /dev/input just symlink the /dev/input/jsX to /dev/jsX.

    How do I get an Xbox 360 Controller to work with Nexuiz?

    Click Properties
    Go to the Settings tab and click Calibrate

  • XBox 360 controller doesn't work in game in Outlast

    I got Outlast, that new horror game, and a Wolf Among Us. I installed Tattleboogie's drivers and using an wired xbox 360 controller (original). In Wolf Among Us it works fine, in the Tattleboogie's settings everything shows as working with responce on every button, but in Outlast, even though the controller is identified and shows up in settings and in the menus as if it were working, it simply doesn't. I get no responce from presses at all.
    Also, I've tried Game Companion and Joystick Mapper, but those just doesn't work. I can get some movement, but it's irregular and doesn't correspond properly. So I do NOT want to use that kind of software, and shouldn't need to since Outlast should have full controller support and obviously recognize it.
    So anyone know anything about this?
    I'm running on a Macbook Pro 13" with Mavericks installed.

  • Xbox 360 controller works in mate desktop but not DWM?

    Hello,
    I just switched to DWM from mate desktop. I use my xbox 360 controller with steam home streaming. Worked perfectly under mate but it doesnt work at all in DWM.
    The xbox controller light is on in dwm and I can confirm it still works under mate. I tried installing xf86-input-joystick but no joy. (didnt need this under mate)
    Anyone know what makes this work in mate desktop or how to make it work in dwm?
    Many Thanks.
    PS: Don't know if it helps but my .xinitrc is just a copy of /etc/skel
    #!/bin/sh
    # ~/.xinitrc
    # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
    if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
    for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
    done
    unset f
    fi
    setxkbmap gb &
    exec dwm
    #exec mate-session

    I installed this driver:
    http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver
    And now my MBP reliably recognizes the controller (evident by it showing me what commands it is receiving in the preference pane created by this driver), but I've found that getting an individual game to behave nicely with the controller is a whole other ball of wax...good luck.

  • [SOLVED] DOOM 3 with a gamepad (xbox 360 controller)

    Is it possible get a xbox 360 controller working with DOOM 3 under Linux? I know that under windows you can use something like xpadder to get it to work with DOOM 3. What alternative is there under Linux?

  • [solved] Xbox 360 Controller (wired) as mouse

    So I'm mouseless but have an unused Xbox 360 Controller. How can I get it to function as a mouse?
    ls /dev/input gives:
    by-id by-path event0 event1 event2 event3 event4 event5 js0 mice mouse0
    and dmesg gives:
    usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2

    xpad: X-Box pad driver
    I've run the usual gamut of google/forum searches to no avail. Seems that most people who do have their controllers functioning as a mouse are looking for ways to disable the behavior. As always, thanks for the help.

    I have made it, I'm very happy with myself. It's not perfect but should work. It only builds and installs the xboxdrv binary, the other featured tools are not touched. Any improvements are welcomed.
    The final dilemma is what category to submit in the AUR. It's not a module or a game, technically not a lib. There needs to be a category for generic utilities.

  • Using the xbox 360 controller in my java application

    Wanted to know if there is a way to get the xbox 360 controller or the nintendo wii to work with my java application. Has anyone been able to access either controller using java.
    Thanks
    GradStudent

    nope. you can use jinput to use game controllers... but only game controllers
    that can be plugged in and have a driver.
    i dont have any game systems, do the controllers have a usb attachment and computer drivers?

  • XBox 360 Controller for Windows

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to get my xbox 360 controller to sync on XP under Bootcamp. If I plug in the receiver under OS X and sync the controller it syncs straight away, if I try and do the same under windows it just blinks at me. I've tried using a powered hub but that made no diffrerence. It's odd how it works on OS X but not under windows, as it's the same hardware, which makes me think it's likely a driver issue?
    Any ideas?

    Thanks, but it's not as simple as not syncing the controller properly. I've done some more testing.
    The front-most USB port does not work at all, well it supplies voltage, but no functionality. It doesn't even accept the apple mouse. So this may be related. BTW the Macbook is at most 2 weeks old, so I'll have this sorted at the genius bar.
    I CAN get the xbox controller to sync if I attach a powered USB hub to ONLY the middle USB socket, which is weird. I think with the flaky bottom port and this weird behaviour with the xbox controller, it's looking like I should just have the apple techs go over the USB ports before I pull out any more hair trying to figure out why it's happening!

  • Xbox 360 controller (wired) and compatability with Windows 7

    Ok, here's the scoop. I have an Xbox 360 controller and a plug 'n play kit for it. I have tried the normal solutions for hooking it up and getting it to recognize in Windows 7 (32 bit) Home Prem. Edition, and all I get is it is an 'Unspecified' device in the Control Panel, and as a result, it will not be recognized in games as a controller, and will not work. I have installed the proper drivers and the 360 Accessories for Windows, but even that doesn't recognize the controller when it is plugged into my USB 2.0 port. The driver is properly installed (Windows told me the driver was installed correctly when I first plugged in my controller, after installing the program from the Microsoft website), so I have no idea why it is not working. I have followed all the stepd that I can find. Please give me some assistance.

    If you already have the software installed, go to programs and features and uninstall Microsoft XBOX 360 Accessories 1.2.
    1) Download the drivers from http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=gaming
    2) Choose Gaming > Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.                                           
    Don’t run the drivers.  Save them to a folder.
    (Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
    3) Right click the Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
    4) Right click the shortcut you created.  Select properties.
    5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode"                  
    Choose Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
    6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
    7) With your controller plugged in go to Device Manager. 
    You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
    Continue only if you don’t see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class in Device Manager
    8) Right click the unknown device that shows a problem.
    9) Update Driver Software > Browse My computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Drivers
    10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
    Ignore the warning.
    Should work now.
    Please help :(  It's still not working!   Your suggestions helped almost everything.  I don't think there was the Microsoft Common Controller for Windows class/Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit in Device Manager before I tried
    your tips of reinstalling under that old service pack compatibility mode.
    Now that I see that, I thought it'd be fixed... but no!  If I run joy.cpl (the Game Controllers window) it still doesn't see my Xbox controller.  It still isn't recognized by the actual 360 controller software for my PC.  
    I did try updating the drivers again in the device manager, and I am plugged into a Blue USB port.  What else?  Is it something to do with my battery pack or something?  Help!!
    I don't know if this will notify me of a response, so please feel free to email me at smorin1487 @   gmail

  • Xbox 360 Controller not recognized by Macbook.

    I just bought an xbox 360 controller to play games with it while programing it through a software. When I first plug it in, the Mac recognizes the controller. If I unplug it and then plug it in again, the 360 controller lights will flash, but it won;t recognize it. If I restart my computer, plug it in, its fine again. Now, if I plug it in, it works, un plug it, but plug it into a different usb port, it will work again. Once I've used one port, it won't work with it and will have to restart my Mac. Any help would be great, Thanks!

    I installed this driver:
    http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver
