Xbox 360/One Controller on Linux - How to install it?
CleanWater Nov 7, 2016
Hi,

It's been a long time I can't manage to properly install a Xbox One controller on Linux. Someone here uses this controller on Linux? Do you have some tips for me?

Thanks in advance.

I use wired X360 and XOne controllers, both work fine on Ubuntu and Mint, just plug and play. XOne controller got Linux support since kernel 3.17, is your kernel older?

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 on a Virtual Box. Kernel 3.19.0-25-generic.

I managed to install a generic D-input controller, but the XOne really is tricking me.

I'm using the jstest for the D-input.
