Hi, as I can see from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/365435 it's subject is: "xbox 360 wireless controller acts like curser or mouse." But xpad.c doesn't use any relative axes. What it used were mouse buttons, but this was fixed with following commit: commit 7beae7028acec3bb235fa079fd7e45cc289c0fd7 Author: Christoph Fritz <chf.fritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jul 13 09:42:33 2010 -0700 Input: xpad - remove mouse buttons and axes for dance pads Dance pads don't have any axes/sticks, only buttons for directions. For example buttons like left+right will get triggered at once, an axis can't handle this anyway. So this patch adds a module parameter named "sticks_to_null" for unknown devices. A known dance pad makes use of it by changing to a new mapping-option named DANCEPAD_MAP_CONFIG. Other tested devices may follow by adding this mapping-option too. Some buttons of xpad-devices are addressing mouse-buttons instead of gamepad-buttons. This gets fixed too. And maybe we should make module param dpad_to_buttons work for known pads too, so that a user can decide if the pressure should get measured in simple key_events (0 or 1) or as an axis with "analog" values. Because all programs (games) I know of don't like buttons reported as axes. Even further, I was told that most xbox games don't make use of this pressure-hitting-button-feature. So if it would be up to me - I would remove the whole analog-button thing or make option dpad_to_buttons default. Should I go for it? thanks, chf -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
