Controller stopped working after update.

@BuZz Thanks! I'll report it at the github link you provided.
And try the suggested downgrade.

@UDb23 did you try xinput mode as well as directinput?

@BuZz Rumblepad 2 used to work under 3.7 and previous. Under 3.8 it is still correctly detected by Emulation station but ALL buttons are inactive and I cannot therefore configure it.
On the other hand a brand new wired Xbox 360 PC controller seems to work fine under 3.8.
Will do some further testing as soon as I have some time.

@BuZz It seems Kernel has been updated to fix this issue ( https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1496).
I just updated with
sudo apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Unfortunately Rumblepad 2 still not working. BTW it has no xinput mode.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

the kernel is not yet packaged - you need to use rpi-update to get it.

@BuZz Used rpi-update, thanks. Pad still not working. :-(

Do the controllers register at all in a jstest or evtest?

[BuZz]

@UDb23 what's the output of uname -a

[UDb23]

@BuZz Linux retropie 4.4.13-v7+ #893 SMP Wed Jun 8 14:39:18 BST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

@mediamogul I used jtest as suggested and Rumblepad is detected and buttons working !!
Still ES would not detect it even if it was working before 3.8 update.
I then rebooted connecting the Rumblepad (as a second pad) together with the currently working Xbox360 Pad. That allowed me to enter Input configuration in ES and, finally, it detected rumblepad and I was able to configure it. :-)
Everything back working now !
Basically for those still having the issue, you can solve it by rpi-update command plus reconfinguring it.
Thank you all for the support!
