It has been a couple of years (which means 4 or 5 Fedora releases ago) since I did this, but I used to be able to play Xonotic using my Xbox 360 Wireless controller. Now I cannot get the controller to work properly in F32 (it works in Windows 10 so I know the hardware is OK).
This most likely has something to do with the move from xboxdrv (which is no longer available in Fedora) to xpad kernel driver, and/or the move from the old js driver to evdev. The xpad driver comes with the current kernel, but what I cannot figure out is how to calibrate the controller. If I run Xontic with the controller connected, the game world just spins counterclockwise. This is a symptom of the controller needing to be calibrated, but I don't know how to do it. I tried using "jscal", but if I run "jscal -c" to calibrate it, it appears to work but doesn't. I can immediately run "jscal -t" and it will say it is not calibrated, and running "jstest" also shows it is not calibrated (several of the axes are not centered, i.e. show nonzero values in jstest).
I attempted to download and compile xboxdrv, but it does not work due to Python 2 vs. 3 incompatibilities, and it doesn't look like any work has been done on xboxdrv in quite some time. If I try to make it, I get this:
root@snowcrash xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8]# make
scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
File "/local/src/xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8/SConstruct", line 34
print target
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(target)?
make: *** [Makefile:24: xboxdrv] Error 2

Certainly looks like Python version incompatibility.
Can anybody point me to information on how to use an Xbox 360 controller on F32, or how to calibrate it when using the xpad driver? I have done a lot of Googling, but most of the articles I found mention things like "apt-get install xboxdrv", showing they were written for Ubuntu rather than Fedora and are wanting to use the xboxdrv driver.
Thank you,
