Running Ubuntu 9.10 minimal with xbmc 9.11.
I have read a plethora of info on getting wireless controllers working and have been swamped with info. Not sure if xpad is already installed, not sure if I should use grumbels xboxdrv. Not sure if I should blacklist xpad IF I install xboxdrv.
Then Im not completely sure how to get it installed. Do I need to compile it? Download and run somthing like a apt-get? Pull from a git? I have seen so many different ways.
Is this a good thread to follow?

Should I get the newest 0.5 source code from here, and what do I do with it if so? What about the ppa from the same page, would that work for 9.10?

I realize that I have asked a lot, most likely none of my questions are formed correctly. Its just that I have all this info and dont want to do the wrong thing. My being stymied and wanting to purge my head of questions has now overwhelmed me not wanting to be belittled for lack of linux knowledge.
Any help is welcome.
