Wired Xbox one controller detected but no buttons are working

[Steasy]

Hello everyone,
I am using RP3B+, with retropie 4.3 on raspbian jessie and all packages are up to date (9/12/2017).

It's been 2 weeks that i'm trying to configure 2 brand new wired xbox one controllers in vain. They both work great on win10 (drivers used : dc 1-controller and xboxgip), and are recognized as PowerA Xbox One wired controller in retropie setup.

I tried pretty much everything found on youtube and on retropie forum. In this tutorial for exemple, when i type this command evtest /dev/input/event[1] it gives me a nice printout of all events for my controller but if i try to press any of its buttons nothing happen at all...

If you have faced this trouble or if you have any idea, i would be really pleased to hear from you :)

ps : I tried to play Metal Slug on PSX with my keyboard, i activated controller vibration and it freaked me out when i finished the first level, because the "not working" controller vibrated like hell!

@Steasy Have a look at this documentation and see if it works:

Hi buddy @retroprogrammer,
I tried the tutorial you told me, unfortunalty it didn't work... I guess it's because my controller are made for xbox one....

Error: No stuitable uinput device found, tried:

  /dev/input/uinput: No such file or directory
  /dev/uinput: Permission denied
  /dev/misc/uinput: No such file or directory

Troubleshooting:
  * make sure uinput kernel module is loaded 
  * make sure joydev kernel module is loaded 
  * make sure you have permissions to access the uinput device
  * start the driver with ./xboxdrv -v --no-uinput to see if the driver itself works

Thanks again, and if you or someone else have another idea, let me know.
