Xboxdrv or XINIT problem

Nash

Hi,

I'm on PiBoy XRS with Pi4 and Retropie 4.8.6.

I have installed some ports and configured successfuly xboxdrv mapping. Now I'm trying to run native Unreal Tournament 99 with box89, xboxdrv, and xinit.

My problem is controls are not working the first time game is launched. When I kill game process in ssh terminal and restart game in EmulationSation, all working perfectly.

I tried to find solution since two days without success. I don't find the difference between first broken launch and the nexts. Seems like input conflict between xinit and xboxdvr the first time or missing initialisation.

When I remove the necessary xinit command for display, sound and controls are working all the time.
With xinit and without xboxdrv, connected keyboard/mouse working but not PiBoy controls.
With xinit and xboxdrv, keyboard/mouse and PiBoy not working at the first launch, but all works perfectly after killing process and restart game.

Here is my two scripts for launch the game and the xboxdrv cfg :

UT99.sh

#!/usr/bin/bash

sudo killall xboxdrv

sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
--silent \
--detach-kernel-driver \
--config /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/PiboyXRS_unreal_xboxdrv.cfg \
--ui-axismap X1=KEY_Q:KEY_D,Y1=KEY_S:KEY_Z \
--deadzone 5000 \
&

sudo xinit /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/UnrealTournament.sh

sudo killall xboxdrv

UnrealTournament.sh

#!/usr/bin/bash

cd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/ut99/System
box86 ut-bin-x86

I see in process list "dbus-daemon" that probably launched by xinit. When controls fails at the first launch, this process is after the game process in the list. When controls are ok during next launches, this process is before. It looks like the game need this process before.

Is there a way to delay the launch of the game started by xinit command ?

xinit '/home/pi/box86/build/box86' '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/ut99/System/ut-bin-x86'
