Bluetoothctl not creating an event*

[jesusramondovale]

I'm using a DEBIX-Board Model-A with a DEBIX-modified Ubuntu22 image installed. I'm trying to connect via Bluetooth an Xbox Series X controller to it (using bluetoothctl on terminal)

So I started the Bluetooth service, and successfully connected my controller using bluetoothctl as I can see on bluetoothctl console prompt, and also in the Bluetooth monitor (btmon), when I touch my controller I can see all the messages successfully arriving on the board.

The problem is that no event is created on /dev/input/.

Does anyone know why is this happening? Must I be creating the event myself?

EDIT: this is the bluetoothctl info of my Xbox controller:

@jesusramondovale what version of BlueZ? Note that it seems 5.69 has some problem with input devices: #594

[jesusramondovale]

I'm using BlueZ 5.66 Isn't it the last version available? Thanks for answering.

But I think that's not the problem because the bluetooth pairing works perfectly and almost instantly, also with btmon I can see all messages on my hci0 interface. The only thing is that I don't know where is the /dev/input event being created.

Do you know who is responsible for creating the event at /dev/input?

is uinput driver loaded on your system? (check modinfo uinput or lsmod | grep uinput)
