I'm using this xboxdrv method with xbox 360 wireless controller and following fresh install of
http://xbmcfreak.binkey.nl/xbmcbuntu-12....a01-v1.iso
Everything seems to work perfectly with the provided instructions with one exception.
The triggers don't work properly
1. they don't work at all when scrolling through menus
2. Trying to fast forward/rewind in movies and music. Once the left or right trigger pressed never goes back to play and stays stuck on FF/RW (if i pull it hard it goes to 32x, upon release it drops down to 8x. - but never back to play. Pressing the trigger in the opposite direction does the same thing, but in reverse and never goes back to play)
i suspect i need to alter either the deadzone or the filter settings. (is this correct?)
at the bottom of the /usr/share/doc/xboxdrv/examples/xbmc.xboxdrv file i noticed the below code
# The resp filter moves the neutral position to zero to work around a
# bug in XBMC, that causes bogus events when neutral position is
# elsewhere. It loses a bit of precision in the trigger as result, but
# that isn't noticable.
LT^resp:127:255=ABS_Z
RT^resp:127:255=ABS_RZ
I suspect modifying these may be able to resolve my trigger issues?
the manual reads
resp, response:VALUES:...
The response curve filter allows you to completely change the
way an axis reacts. The filter takes a list of VALUES that are
then linearly interpolated and spread across the full range of
the axis. An example would look like this:
xboxdrv \
--ui-axismap x1^resp:-32768:-4000:0:4000:32767
Here the X1 axis is manipulated so that it will have a lower
sensitivity in the center and a higher one on the outside.
