    Hello! I'm trying to use a game controller (joystick) in linux usb linpus, specifically the S-controller of xbox (modified with a USB port)

    The first thing I did was install "joystick.rpm" from repository, specifically:

    Joystick Driver Linux v1.2.15

    After reading the readme file've tried to see if acer aspire one detects the gamepad, the result has been:

    gamepad disconnect:

    [user@localhost ~]$ lsusb
    Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c045 Logitech, Inc.
    Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 064e:d101 Acer Crystal Eye Webcam
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

    gamepad connect:

    [user@localhost ~]$ lsusb
    Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c045 Logitech, Inc.
    Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 002 Device 012: ID 045e:0289 Microsoft Corp. Xbox Controller S
    Bus 002 Device 011: ID 045e:0288 Microsoft Corp. Xbox Controller S Hub
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 064e:d101 Acer Crystal Eye Webcam
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    [user@localhost ~]$

    Device test:

    jstest /dev/bus/usb/002/012
    Joystick (Unknown) has 2 axes and 2 buttons. Driver version is 0.8.0.
    Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
    Axes: X:117702688 Y:537068037 Buttons: A:eek:n B:eek:n
    jstest: error reading: Operation not permitted

    Other test:

    [user@localhost ~]$ jstest /dev/bus/usb/002/011
    Joystick (Unknown) has 2 axes and 2 buttons. Driver version is 0.8.0.
    Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
    Axes: X:16777220 Y: 9 Buttons: A:eek:ff B:eek:ffB:eek:ff
    jstest: error reading: Operation not permitted

    May not work because the driver is a bit old (1999) but I have not found any other way to make it work. In the case of finding a suitable driver (I think this is the problem) could be used:

    Have you know any driver who works in linux linpus?

    Thank you!
