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.

Fixed header working fine for desktop but not for windows phone

I have my website in asp.net with master page. I have used below css for header div of my website to make it fixed.
.header{
z-index: 3001;
position:fixed;
top:0px;left:0px;
background-color: white;
width:100%;height:150px;
This is working fine for desktop. But on mobile, I can only see my 50% of width of the header. On the right side of 50%, nothing is cmg. As in just white background is cmg. On the right side, I have a button which when I click is working. To say, controls are
not visible but they are working if u manage to click at the exact place. Any fix for this?
I want to add that this problem is coming only in windows phone. So need fix for that.

Hi User1508372,
The
Developing for Windows Phone forum is for developers to discuss writing Windows Phone apps, not for writing web sites targeting Windows Phone IE.
My guess here is that your site may be running into a compatibility mode or different versions of IE on desktop and on Windows Phone, but you don't provide enough information about which versions of IE you are using. Windows Phone 8 uses IE 10 (similar to
Windows 8).
The folks in the
Windows Phone IT Pro forums are likely to know more about the Windows Phone IE specifics, and the folks in the IE or ASP.Net forums will know more about how to target your HTML for different versions.

Thanks for the reply. here is the behavior for all steps:
1. use oper. system safe mode: it works, I can send email
2. no oper. sys. safe mode, t'bird safe mode: cannot send mail
3. no oper. sys safe mode, no t'bird safe mode, all addons disabled: cannot send mail.
It only works when i use oper. sys. safe mode.
Addons for t'bird were enabled in this test.
(Not using T'bird safe mode either in this test.)
Use BitDefender antivirus, which does not have a setting to turn on/off email scanning. Should I contact BD support? (it seems to point to BD as causing the problem. Interesting that I don't have this problem on 2 other desktops, only the laptop. And in the past, T'bird worked on the laptop. I have tried uninstall and reinstall, but mozilla is SAVING all my account and other info, so I cannot do a clean install. it seems to me that if I could do a clean install, it might work. Any idea how to remove all the data and uninstall?
thanks,
tim

Yahoo Mail basic - works on iMac desktop but not macbook pro?

Settings appear identical but yahoo mail basic will not work on mac book pro mail but OK on iMac desktop mail...... whats that all about?

Is your iMac OS current? Your MBP isn't: (10.6.2)
Use Software Update to update your OS to last version of Snow Leopard - OS 10.6.7. Install all the other updates that goes along w/it.

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?

majiq wrote:I'm trying to use it with GridWars, but it doesn't seem to be registering. As a note, I found no new entries in /dev/input/.
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.

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

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 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.

[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?

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!

How to install xbox 360 controller on mac mavericks?

how to install wired xbox 360 controller on mac mavericks?
i installed this driver
http://files.tattiebogle.net/360/360ControllerInstall.dmg
but is not working

@mtnbkr81,
So you are trying to use the wireless controller? All that I have read points to more reliability for the wired when using it on a computer. Perhaps you should save money for a wired one?
I also forgot to mention the installation procedures on the .11 version. My controller does get recognized but as a genereric controller. Not specific to xbox360. But you can try this:
-Uninstall the pref pant and the couple of other files that have been written to your MAC. Use the search on "controller"
-once deleted run the .11 version of tthe driver. MAKE SURE THE CONTROLLER IS NOT IN THE USB PORT.
-after the installation is complete open up preferences adn you should see an xbox360 option
-open it and then plug in the controller
-it should then get recognized. You may need to play with some of the options.
