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 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

gamepad connect:

[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:on B:on
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:off B:offB:off
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!
