From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can't get Xbox controller to work with 32bit Void Linux via USB (lemmy.ml)

I've installed xone and xboxdrv.

The controller vibrates on plug in but the LED stays off, if I hold down the Xbox button it boots in Bluetooth mode.

Xboxdrv reports no controllers found.

lsusb reports the controller ~~and it has a file in /dev/js0 (or something similar).~~

Update: there's no js file in /dev/input

retroarch reports detection of Xbox controller on plug in.

I added my user to input group.

My system is up to date.

I installed the system with the XFCE build.

The controller works as intended on Arch, Windows and Android via USB and Bluetooth

Update 2: I installed jstest-gtk and it's not detecting the controller at all

The LED is off and I've tried retroarch and a game, retroarch detects the controller but takes no input, the game didn't detect it at all

Did you try mapping the buttons?

[–] lonesomeCat@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The LED is off, which means the controller isn't connected

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That LED could mean anything. Just check and see if input is recognized during mapping setup. It doesn't make sense that's it's showing as recognized but not working at all. I'd also check if BT is conflicting with wired connections.

Okay I made a mistake, there's no js entry in /dev/input
