[SOLVED] Xbox 360 Off-brand controller does not work

I'm having a problem getting X11 to recognize my Madcatz Xbox 360 controller under the Xpad driver.  It works under Ubuntu as a (get this) "pointer device" and perfectly under Windows 7, but nothing more.  I tried modifying entries in /etc/hal/fdi/policy as per instructions on the Linux Mint forums to no avail.
Below are some things I tried and some data.
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/MadCatzGamePad:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains="Mad Catz Wired Xbox 360 Controller">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string"></merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
lshal | grep -i xbox:
info.product = 'Mad Catz Wired Xbox 360 Controller' (string)
input.product = 'Mad Catz Wired Xbox 360 Controller' (string)
usb.interface.description = 'Xbox Security Method 3, Version 1.00, ? 2005 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.' (string)
I hope somebody can use this information to help me out!  I love the Xbox 360 controller and it's certainly better than the logitech.  Buying a new controller is NOT an option!
Edit:  It actually works now, it just was blinking before I played a game.  Yay!

It won't recongize it because the devices (Xbox and headunit) are trying to access the flash drive, something that requires disk mode.

  • TS2771 what to do my ipod touch 4g is updated to ios6 now it has a white scren and wont turn off and to top it off the homebutton does not work at all

    what to do my ipod touch 4g is updated to ios6 now it has a white scren and wont turn off and to top it off the homebutton does not work at all please help me

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    -When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program instead of the buttons.
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Additional PCI IDE controller does not work

    I have an on-board IDE controller but I have several disks. So I bought an additional PCI IDE controller. However, Solaris 10 does not recognize it and doesn't see any disks on it. (reports "driver not attached "for the device).
    Is there a way to make the external PCI controller work?

    Hi, I'm having a similar problem and hope there is a solution. In my case, I bought one of the "reported to work" IDE controllers - the adaptec ASH-1233.
    The board is not being recognized by Solaris. Running Nevada build 27a.
    I followed the directions that Juergen Keil posted, and the directions on bigadmin associated with the card. That includes adding a line to devicedb/master:
    pci1095,680 pci-ide msd pci ata.bef "Silicon Image 680 PATA Controller"
    Then touching /reconfigure and doing a reboot.
    The device is not found and reported in /var/adm/messages. It is shown by prtconv -pv though, with the matching identifier (pci1095,680).
    So the device exists but isn't found by Solaris Nevada b27a. Thanks for any advice...

  • [SOLVED ]pacman -S R, but R does not work

    I installed R following this tutorial:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/R
    But when I try to start R, I get:
    /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R: error while loading shared libraries: liblzma.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    I have those libraries (maybe an older version? But I updated my system a few weeks ago):
    /usr/lib/liblzma.a
    /usr/lib/liblzma.so
    /usr/lib/liblzma.so.0
    /usr/lib/liblzma.so.0.0.0
    /usr/lib/pkgconfig/liblzma.pc
    I searched over the Internet for the error, and found this , but is with a different library, Never the less, the solutions there did not work for me.
    Any help?

    Sorry, indeed was and older version.
    Solution:
    pacman -S xz -----> contains that library
    Now it works.

    Does anyone know anything about onsite specifics?
    I'm wondering where the onsite warranty can be in effect.  Like, can it be used in ANY city in the US?  Can it be used only in metrololitan areas?  What is a metro area in Lenovo's eyes?
    Does anyone know where I can get better and accurate info on the onsite warranty?  Like a coverage map would be very helpful.  Because why should I spend the money on it, if I can't access it?
    Looking forward to more info...thanks.
    There is no coverage map as such.
    I live in what is considered a rural area and had techs driving 60-70 miles one way to get to me, never an issue.
    Obviously, YMMV.
    In my not-so-modest experience, both onsite and accidental damage upgrades are worth every penny if one intends to keep their ThinkPads for an extended period of time.
    Good luck.

  • My new ipod nano does not  work when you turn off the computer

    I bought a new iPod but I have a problem when you turn off the computer does not work. Shows that the battery is full and it was lightning. Ipod only works while connected to your computer. What should I do

    Hello pepi95,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If you just bought the nano, why not bring it back for a replacement or your money back? It's definitely a defective iPod. Not much else for options here. Sorry.

  • HELP! Scroll does not work on pressario CQ60 touchpad.

    Hi,
    I know this has been covered before but I am very illiterate in this subject and need step by step instructions, please bear with me.
    I have a Compaq Pressario CQ60-300EV, the scroll function on the touchpad stopped working very suddenly after only two months. Also when i type i often accidentally touch the touchpad, i have tried to turn this off but this does  not work, the light colour does change.
    I have read replies that say go into:
                     control panel-mouse-settings then change the horizontal whatever it is,
    I don't appear to have anything under mouse that says horizontal.
    Please help I'm desperate.
    Thanks

    Sorry, I have wasted your time. Woo hoo! Its fixed!
    Thanks anyway, i would have clicked the Kudos star anyway.

  • HT201272 i paid and downloaded Card Game ( UNO) is does not work

    Uno card game off apps store does not work on my i-pad 4th generation

    Have you tried deleting the apps and re-downloading it ? If that doesn't fix it then you could try contacting the app's developer (there should be a link on its description page in the store).
    If you don't get a reply from the developer then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

    i'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games!

    I have exactly the same problem.
    I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
    Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
    Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
    The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
    What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
    PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
    If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

    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.

  • My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

    My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
    I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

  • Brand New Digitizer Does NOT work...

    Hello, Im using an old Plam M505 to give me information VIA diagnostics on my car, just simple text. I bought it brand new never turned on flawless, and when I went to turn it on, The digitatizer does not work. Im stuck at the very first screen "use the stylis to tap the screen and continue" I tapped it, nothing, I can power no and off and dim and brighten the screen with the power button when its plugged in, but thats it. I charged it and it doesnt turn on unless plugged in. If the battery was never used and has been sitting there for 8 years its probibaly dead huh? also would that cause my digitizer to not work? Oh also when I push the application buttons it just beeps a little. One more thing the software does not recognise it, so I cant even access it through that.   
    Post relates to: Palm m505

    Hello dsmcraze, Welcome to the Palm Support Community!
    Always the first thing to try in any PalmOS "hiccup" is a Soft Reset.  Gently press the tiny "Reset" button on the back of the device to reboot it.  No information will be lost.
    Did you fully charge the device for 3 hours before using it?  Try plugging it into the charger and tap the Reset button.  This theoretically should reset the charging circuitry that monitors the "full" level.
