[SOLVED] Something about xbox360

Post by Mitteau »

Hello everybody,
In a former post viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2364&p=12750&hilit=xbox360#p12750, I mentioned difficulties with xbox360 joy-pad. After immersion in linux udev component, I found at the end that the problem was only a bad contact in the usb connector!!!!!
So, after open-heart surgery, xbox runs perfectly.
On the contrary of what is said in the wiki, the driver "xboxdev" is no longer useful with last Linux versions (mine is 4.10.0-32, with xubuntu 17.04). Native installation gives /dev/input/js0 and interrupt without any supplementary work.
I used the many axis and buttons of xbox to implement a specialized axis to control height in heighthold function, and a landing button in the same context.

But considering raspberry, on my installation I have not yet overcome the timeout problem stopping cfheadless after 30 sec...

OK, I have alreaddy added a warning there saying that the driver was not needed anymore, was that not clear enough? Maybe I can swap things by removing the userland driver and pute a note that for old distro it is needed?
