xboxdrv command in Linux (X360 Controller setup)

[montblanc]

Hi everybody!

I'm running Ubuntu and I'm using a wireless controller to play Fez (finally on Linux!), but there's something wrong with the command I've always used to make it work:

sudo xboxdrv --silent --detach-kernel-driver --trigger-as-button --ui-axismap x2=ABS_Z,y2=ABS_RZ --ui-buttonmap A=BTN_B,B=BTN_X,X=BTN_A,TR=BTN_THUMBL,TL=BTN_MODE,GUIDE=BTN_THUMBR

Basically, LT and RT are mapped to LB and RB and the right axis is not working: UP-LEFT moves the camera to the LEFT and DOWN-RIGHT to the RIGHT, while the remaining directions just don't work. Everything else works just fine and even A, B, X and Y are correctly mapped.
Do you have any advice? What's the command you run to make your controller fully working?

Thank you so much in advance! :)

This is the command that works for me with a PS3 controller (plugged in via USB):

sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver --mimic-xpad --silent

Thanks, Devi710. I assume that works with a PS3 controller because of --mimic-xpad, but I would lose the opportunity to have it recognized as a X360 controller and I would have to map buttons in another way.

Try setting the controller up in Big Picture mode again, that'll pass the correct assignments to the game

Did you manage to get the controller working?
I just wanted to say that I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, and my Xbox 360 wired controller worked out-of-the-box; every button and axis mapped perfectly. I've never used or even installed xboxdrv.

Thanks, NA. Unfortunately you need xboxdrv to make a wireless controller work. I should have considered buying a wired one...

That's it! I didn't know Steam was using its own pad settings (n00b). I thought Fez was already detecting an X360 controller but I was wrong; now I can see the X360 controller picture in Fez settings and everything works!

I'm so glad it was so easy, in the end. :)

THANKS!!!

P.S.: It keeps crashing my system when started from Big Picture mode but hey, that's life.

Once you've set the controller up in Big Picture mode you shouldn't need to launch from it, it'll pass the config on to any games that use the SDL gamepad spec as long as they're launched from Steam. Probably has to be ones that are on Steam if I had to guess since it wouldn't know the game uses it when playing with a non Steam shortcut I would imagine
