      Drop --evdev /dev/input/event2 \ and see if that does it. If not, I did a little reading on the PS3 controller and it appears as though you can map those four buttons using my original instructions as follows:

      --evdev-keymap KEY_#302=a,KEY_#301=b,BTN_DEAD=x,KEY_#300=y
      

      In context, that would look like:

      sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
      	--evdev /dev/input/by-id/* \
      	--silent \
      	--detach-kernel-driver \
      	--force-feedback \
      	--deadzone-trigger 15% \
      	--deadzone 4000 \
      	--mimic-xpad \
      	--evdev-absmap ABS_*=x1,ABS_*=y1,ABS_*=x2,ABS_*=y2,ABS_*=lt,ABS_*=rt,ABS_*=dpad_x,ABS_*=dpad_y \
      	--evdev-keymap BTN_KEY_#302=a,KEY_#301=b,BTN_DEAD=x,KEY_#300=y,BTN_*=lb,BTN_*=rb,BTN_*=tl,BTN_*=tr,BTN_*=guide,BTN_*=back,BTN_*=start \
      	&
      

      I hate that I don't have a PS3 controller to test, but maybe that will take care of the issue. If so, I'll add it to the instructions up top.

        Without success.
        Write :

        cat /proc/bus/input/devices
        

        output:

        No PS3 gamepad on the list.
        Unable to add to the line.

        No change.

        No change. Gamepad is still reported as a Playstation 3 controller.

          Based on all the information you've given so far, you're configuration should look like this:

          sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
          	--evdev /dev/input/event2 \
          	--silent \
          	--detach-kernel-driver \
          	--force-feedback \
          	--deadzone-trigger 15% \
          	--deadzone 4000 \
          	--mimic-xpad \
          	--dpad-as-button \
          	--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_#48=lt,ABS_#49=rt \
          	--evdev-keymap KEY_#302=a,KEY_#301=b,BTN_DEAD=x,KEY_#300=y,BTN_THUMB=tl,BTN_THUMB2=tr,BTN_BASE5=lb,BTN_BASE6=rb,BTN_TRIGGER=back,KEY_#720=guide,BTN_TOP=start,BTN_TOP2=du,BTN_PINKIE=dr,BTN_BASE=dd,BTN_BASE2=dl \
          	--calibration x1=-32767:0:32767,y1=-32767:0:32767,x2=-32767:0:32767,y2=-32767:0:32767 \
          	&
          

          If that doesn't work, we'll have to look at the error that is given. The easiest way to do that is to paste the previous command directly into the terminal minus the final backslash and ampersand. After you press 'Enter', the error will print out if something's wrong.

              Very glad to hear it. Everything looks to be in order from here. If anything else comes up, I'll be around.

                  So it's working when you enter it into the command line directly, but not from /etc/rc.local? Go ahead and post the entire contents of your /etc/rc.local so we can take a look at it.

                  EDIT: Nevermind, I see it above.

                      Try pasting the command above the line # Print the IP address.

                        No change. No Xbox gamepad.

                          There's a conflict with the other command in the file that's printing the IP address. I'm not sure how to make them coexist, but the xboxdrv command itself should run without the other.

                            Delete the command in the file that's printing the IP address to rc.local, restart.

                              Go ahead and past the contents of the newly modified rc.local.

                                  At this point, I'm starting to suspect poltergeists ;). Let's try reformatting the command to:

                                  sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv --evdev /dev/input/event2 --silent --detach-kernel-driver --force-feedback --deadzone-trigger 15% --deadzone 4000 --mimic-xpad --dpad-as-button --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_#48=lt,ABS_#49=rt --evdev-keymap KEY_#302=a,KEY_#301=b,BTN_DEAD=x,KEY_#300=y,BTN_THUMB=tl,BTN_THUMB2=tr,BTN_BASE5=lb,BTN_BASE6=rb,BTN_TRIGGER=back,KEY_#720=guide,BTN_TOP=start,BTN_TOP2=du,BTN_PINKIE=dr,BTN_BASE=dd,BTN_BASE2=dl --calibration x1=-32767:0:32767,y1=-32767:0:32767,x2=-32767:0:32767,y2=-32767:0:32767 &

                                    Such an idea.
                                    If Sony gamepad connected via bluetooth and I enter the SSH command:

                                    sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
                                    	--evdev /dev/input/event2 \
                                    	--silent \
                                    	--detach-kernel-driver \
                                    	--force-feedback \
                                    	--deadzone-trigger 15% \
                                    	--deadzone 4000 \
                                    	--mimic-xpad \
                                    	--dpad-as-button \
                                    	--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_#48=lt,ABS_#49=rt \
                                    	--evdev-keymap KEY_#302=a,KEY_#301=b,BTN_DEAD=x,KEY_#300=y,BTN_THUMB=tl,BTN_THUMB2=tr,BTN_BASE5=lb,BTN_BASE6=rb,BTN_TRIGGER=back,KEY_#720=guide,BTN_TOP=start,BTN_TOP2=du,BTN_PINKIE=dr,BTN_BASE=dd,BTN_BASE2=dl \

                                    output is this:

                                    Your Xbox/Xbox360 controller should now be available as:
                                      /dev/input/js1
                                      /dev/input/event3
                                    
                                    Press Ctrl-C to quit
                                    

                                    Unless Sony gamepad connected via bluetooth and I enter the SSH command output is this:

                                      Ah... nice! OK, There's a command to force Bluetooth to load and pair known devices that can be added before the xboxdrv command. From memory I believe it's called 'modprobe' or something like that. I'll be more than happy to help you out with it, but to be honest, I'm starting to fade and should get some sleep. I'll look into it further after a few ZZZs, but feel free to read ahead. I'm curious about this myself and I remember thinking that this could potentially be a problem with Bluetooth as the system starts.

                                        It's as if Sony gamepad connected via a cable already at system startup, log on as an X-Box gamepad.

                                        XBOX

                                        If Sony gamepad connects to the system startup via Bluetooth, so the X-Box driver not lead.

                                          With any luck, forcing Bluetooth to load and pair known devices at startup should correct the problem. The fact that it connects via USB at startup is a good sign.
