So I wanted to make a post here because I saw a few people were having issues with their controller not being detected suddenly (or not at all). After making sure your controller is binded correctly, you need to make sure the driver is picking up the controller.
Start with : *sudo apt-get xboxdrv* *sudo apt-get update* Then try: *sudo xboxdrv -L *// This will show you all the xbox controllers the driver is attached to My result looked like this (precise)root@localhost:~/Downloads/Xbox-master# sudo xboxdrv -L id | wid | idVendor | idProduct | Name ----+-----+----------+-----------+-------------------------------------- 0 | 0 | 0x045e | 0x0291 | Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (Port: 0) 0 | 1 | 0x045e | 0x0291 | Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (Port: 1) 0 | 2 | 0x045e | 0x0291 | Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (Port: 2) 0 | 3 | 0x045e | 0x0291 | Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (Port: 3) (precise)root@localhost:~/Downloads/Xbox-master# (clearly something isn't right) Then I tried to rumble the controller *sudo xboxdrv -R *// this resulted in an error because (presumably) the kernel driver was attached elsewhere. Can't remember what the error said. Then finally: *sudo xboxdrv -R --detach-kernel-driver *// <<-- This is what finally did the trick for me If you still have problems I'm sure you'll find some answers in *man xboxdrv* Hope this helps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "xboxdrv" group.
