xbox controller will not shown in vdrift - feldmaus - 07-30-2009
Hi All,
i am on Debian Lenny 32bit System with kernel 2.6.30 and a Nvidia 8600GT graphics card. I downloaded(cvs or svn or git) and compiled vdrift. I tried to get my xbox controller to work, but vdrift seems to ignore my controller. I am not sure whether this is a driver Problem, but maybe someone can help me.
Here are some messages i get when i connect my xbox controller to my pc:

Any hint ?
I still played vdrift with this xbox controller some time ago on a Debian Lenny System. But this was on my old pc i think.
regards markus

When you start vdrift, it prints out a line listing all of the input devices that SDL knows about:
Code:
INFO: 1 joystick found:
INFO: 0. Gravis Eliminator AfterShockDo you have a similar line? Does it say 0 joysticks found?

Since SDL reports 0 joysticks, this is not a VDrift problem.
With it plugged in, what does your /dev/input directory look like?
You could try this:

Thanks for your help. My /dev/input directory contains the following:
Code:
/dev/input/
|-- by-id
| `-- usb-045e_0202-event-joystick -> ../event4
|-- by-path
| |-- pci-0000:00:13.4-usb-0:1.1:1.0-event-joystick -> ../event4
| |-- pci-0000:00:14.2-event- -> ../event2
| |-- platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd -> ../event1

But as i know there should be a js* device ??? Or am i wrong ?

Ok i got it. Most games seem to use /dev/input/jp[0-9] as joystick device. In my kernel config was only the Event Interface enabled. So i enabled the Joystick interface too.
Device Drivers --> Input Device support --> Joystick Interface
