Hi.

I'm having a problem with my xbox 1 controller (Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller) and XBMC/Ubuntu.. This is not the dvd remote, this is a controller.

First of all, controller is tested in windows and works fine there.

Most of the buttons work in XBMC out of box as well. Exept D-Pad, back, start and volume on right analog stick is upside down.

Installed lirc, but i'm getting no output to irw, so it's hard for me to map the buttons.
Furthermore I have no idea on how to config lircd.conf with button names.

lirc starts and stops fine.

Here are some data :

From hardware.conf, bold lines edited :

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="Logitech Xbox Wireless Controller"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

cat /proc/bus/input/devices show :

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=ca84 Version=0103
N: Name="Logitech Xbox Cordless Controller"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:04.0-6.1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/usb2/2-6/2-6.1/2-6.1:1.0/input/input5
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=event5 js0
B: EV=b
B: KEY=683f0000 400000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=3003f

When I start lirc it show :

xbmc@htpc:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
* Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [ OK ]
* Loading LIRC modules [ OK ]
* Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC [ OK ]
xbmc@htpc:~$

daemon log says :

Nov 13 22:15:40 htpc lircd-0.8.6[2382]: caught signal
Nov 13 22:15:40 htpc lircd-0.8.6[2446]: config file contains no valid remote control definition

Nov 13 22:16:09 htpc lircd-0.8.6[2447]: removed client

I have no idea anymore, been reading a ton of guides and gotten nowhere.. This should be possible right ?

Hope anyone can help me get any further with this one.

Thanks in advance.

got everything working with xboxdrv now, removed lirc alltoghether, since it's not needed for this controller to work.

just need to find out how to wrap xboxdrv around xbmc as a daemon, so it can autostart now

EDIT :

Found the solution to autostarting xboxdrv with all parameters (without stalling the loading of xbmc) :

sudo nano /etc/init/tty2.conf

replace this line :

exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty2

with :

exec /home/xbmc/xboxdrv/xboxdrv –silent –dpad-as-button –deadzone 3000

Ta-daaa ! You can now use your old xbox1 controller.

Much thanks to this guide here : http://stolennotebook.com/anthony/2008/0...r-xboxdrv/
