      @Arcuza said in Xbox 360 Wireless Controller:

      do you think the receiver reports different ID:s for example

      It's tough to say how any piece of unsupported hardware will act. Heck there's always even the chance that it would work just fine.

      Is it possible to troubleshoot?

      No one else has chimed in thinking that this is a kernel issue, so I'm inclined to leave that notion behind. Using xboxdrv in it's automatic daemon detection mode is likely to be a dead end if the device isn't supported. There is a way to setup xboxdrv for each controller manually, but it requires a fair bit of work and will no longer support hot-swapping of controllers. It might even result in a few unexpected issues, putting you back at square one. You probably need to weigh the amount of trouble it will be to set up against the cost of getting the properly supported hardware.

        I use a microsoft adapter with microsoft controllers and i have no issues. I never get a solid light on the controllers. Are you doing something to make the lights go solid? Are you adding stuff in rc.local? Any other stuff you are adding? If so remove it. The drivers work without any setting up of any kind

          @edmaul69 They go solid if I enable the driver and go through the key mapping configuration. If I disable the driver they blink.

            @Arcuza how are you enabling it? It should work right out of the box. Sure the lights blink but it works.

              @edmaul69 Yes, works perfectly! Works after reboot, works after dimmed mode. Only issues are 4 controllers reported active, and I seem to have some issues with keys... Select+L2 don't seem to load state. Would be perfect to have a controller troubleshoot application on menu that shows what keys on which controller you are pressing.

              Controller #1: Select + L2 etc

              Thank you!

                @Arcuza i thought loadstate was on the direction pad by default? I disabled them so i cant verify by looking at my settings.
