or do I have to set another laptop up for crazyflie lps?

you do not need a specific driver in Linux for the xbox-360 gamepad (this is the good thing with linux, driver eventually gets merged in the linux source code and so peripheral are supported out of the box eventually .

If you want to test that the gamepad working, you can use jstest-gtk to test the gamepad axis and buttons:

Thank you for introducing JStest GTK tool.

but my macbook with ubuntu cannot recognize XBOX 360 automatically.
and, I fomated my macbook and reinstall ubuntu 16.04 again cuz I want to feel clean..

jstest shows two joystick preference. 1 is appmc, and 2 is MS X BOX one not 360.

I Attatched screenshot which shows my status.

do I have to install x box 360 driver myself?

I have Ubuntu 16.04 and an official Xbox360 gamepad and it works out of the box, so no need of extra drivers.

From the look of your screenshot it looks like you actually have an xbox one gamepad.

If you have problems using it with ROS it might be that your mac has another joystick (certainly the accelerometer for the harddrive exposed as a joystick, this happens with some PC too). So you need to use /dev/input/js1 instead of /dev/input/js0. See this answer: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2212&p=11173&hilit= ... +js#p11260. You can add "joy_dev:=/dev/input/js1" to the launchfile command-line.
