      So now I have remapped the keyboard to US for some reason it was set to afghani and then tried dmesg | grep -i xbox and pressed enter and nothing happens. Then did the other dmesg | grep -i xpad and nothing happens. By that I mean you press enter and absolutely nothing comes up.

        @retrogamer29 If the dmesg | grep xpad command doesn't produce anything, then it means the xpad driver is not loading. Make sure the xpad driver is installed then plug in the controller again. Is this a Microsoft OEM controller or a clone ?

          @mitu This is a real microsoft xbox 360 controller with its play and charge kit. How do I install the driver?

              I did that weird that nothing comes up. It says it is installed but I will restart. Go to retropie. go to retropie setup go to manage packages and driver packages and uninstall reboot and do the same go back reinstall and reboot and see if that works.

                @retrogamer29 If it appears as installed, but the xpad driver is not loaded, then the controller is not recognized as a gamepad. Can you run cat /proc/bus/usb/devices and post the output here ?

                      @mitu Well it just states my logitech keyboard. I don't see the Xbox 360 controller there. Its also a lot to write out as its on my TV.

                        @retrogamer29 Run it as cat /proc/bus/input/devices > /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/out.txt, then browse over file shares at \\retropie\roms and get the out.txt file. If the controller doesn't appear in the list, then run

                        lsusb -v   > /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/lsusb.txt

                        and the - similarly, from the roms folder - get the contents of the lsusb.txt file and post it here.

                            Hm, according to the xpad driver's source, the device should be recognized as a controller (ID 045e:028f), but it's not. The last listing from lsusb -v it's not the same as the previous one:

                             Bus 001 Device 004 ID: 045e:020f Microsoft Corp. Xbox360 Wireless Controller

                            but I assume it was just a typo.

                            Can you exit Es, disconnect the dongle and then type

                            sudo dmesg -c > /dev/null
sudo modprobe xpad

                            then connect the dongle back, type

                            emulationstation

                            and try configuring the controller.

                              @mitu Thanks for all the help but there is still absolutely no difference.

                              The xbox 360 controller still does not work. I never thought it would be so hard to get a controller working with it.
