Thanks, Ingo, for the response. There is no connectivity when stopping xboxdrv and using xpad. However, the dongle/controller works perfectly with Windows 8.
The controller will usually stay connected for long periods of time when xboxdrv is loaded. There do remain some sporadic disconnection issues which defy my ability to bring into a pattern. But as you said, its probably not the controller driver. Is it possible that I need to install a different driver for the dongle?
