I am having a problem. I can use the controller if I start it manually, but the auto start no longer works on latest XBMC Live release. For some reason there's no "screen" package. If I try to install it, it says something along the lines of "package not found". Is there any other way to auto start the driver?

arg ok I got it to work, sorta. It was not being loaded before xbmc so it was not being detected, by restarting xbmc (not the computer) it picked it up and is working so now my question is, how do I get this to start before xbmc starts using the xbmcfreaks livecd install. the fix on the first post for that issue did not work with this distro so does anyone have any suggestions?

I'd just like to know where everyone is getting their keymaps from. Ubuntu >= 9.10 has native support for the Xbox 360 controller, and I got the Keymap from the Wiki, but I can't get the thumbsticks working.
I don't want to install xboxdrv because Ubuntu already has it's own driver (which works perfectly in ZSNES) and the install looks messy, but I can't get the analog sticks to work. I'm mapping all of them to Up, just to see if it works.
Also, when I use debug the log doesn't mention that I use the analog sticks.
Does anyone have the entire controller mapped out and put online. I'd love to get the Xbox button to bring up the shutdown menu.
Hell, I'll work on a perfect Keymap.xml file if someone could just provide me with the means (the map and the knowledge of how to get the analog sticks working).

Ok, I'll try the Xboxdrv. Does it enable the thumbsticks? It's just odd to me because ZSNES reads it natively...

yes, the analogs work .. i installed it using darwin's instructions from op it installed on my minimal x86 karmic perfectly without any issues
only thing, i think the instructions say to use .xbmc/keymaps however i popped over the keymap to my ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps instead

The left thumbstick still doesn't work for me, even with this tip. Did they ever fix that issue? What axis is it mapped to?
