I read this as they are looking to run the desktop over an SSH tunnel from a (headless) remote linux fileserver, hence my concern about latency. If this is the case, they would need to start the X environment manually, or maybe you could setup some checks to examine ${SSH_ENV} within .profile to try an autostart.

AWESOME!!! Just testing it out, when I went into RetroPi configure controller it recognized it as 2 gamepads right away, configured each and was instantly playing some Street Fighter Alpha 3 with my 5 year old. I works great! Thanks for the help, should have notice my mistake, the devil is in the details as they say. I read so much I have developed a tendency to be lays and just speed read without even realizing I'm doing it. I my brain just saw 'add to it's own line' for some reason. Anyways the device should be included by default and hopefully this will be fixed in a new version so folks don't have mess with it manually. Guess my wiring job was spot on, I don't have any issues now. Thanks again.
