      Hi,
      OSMC doesn't use DKMS so we're not able to install xpad on it.
      From Sam Nazarko (project lead at OSMC) :

      "We don't use DKMS modules. If someone gets in touch with them and finds out where they sourced the updated kernel module from I will update our kernel.
      Seems like the RetroPie guys are suggesting the kernel module is problematic. If this is the case I'm not sure why excluding it from the build as @RJ45 did doesn't fix the problem."

      Could you please provide any support ?

        You may not want our xpad, as it may cause problems with Kodi on OSMC or other issues. We have some support for OSMC but I don't think I can help get xpad working if they are managing their own kernels that won't work with dkms.

        The code is here

        https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/xpad.sh

        It's this driver we are building - which contains newer xpad code than is in the currentl Raspbian 4.4 kernel - https://github.com/paroj/xpad.git

        However due to problems with ES and the triggers, I have patched it so the triggers are forced to act as buttons (can be switched off via module param).
