</header>
<div style="clear: both;" />
<div id="content">
<p>
This is a Xbox/Xbox360 gamepad driver for Linux that works
in userspace. It is an alternative to the xpad kernel driver
and has support for Xbox1 gamepads, Xbox360 USB gamepads and
Xbox360 wireless gamepads, both first and third party. The
Xbox360 guitar and some Xbox1 dancemats might work too. The
Xbox 360 racing wheel is not supported, but shouldn't be to
hard to add if somebody is interested.
</p>
<p>
Note that using a wireless Xbox360 controller with the
Play&Charge USB cable will <em>not</em> work. The cable
is for recharging only and does not transmit any input data
over the wire. To use the wireless Xbox360 controller you
need the wireless receiver.
</p>
<p>
In addition to all the Xbox related stuff, the driver also
has native support for the Thrustmaster Dual Power 3
gamepad, including rumble and can be used on top of the
regular Linux joystick driver.
</p>
<p>
Unlike the stock xpad kernel driver, xboxdrv provides a wide
varity of configuration options, it allows you to simulate
keyboard and mouse events, remap buttons and axes, apply
autofire, invert axis, tweak axis sensitivity, emulate
throttle and rudder controls and send macros.
</p>
<p>
You can find a full list of possible options in the <a href="xboxdrv.html">xboxdrv manpage</a>.

<h3>0.7.3 released</h3>
<time datetime="2011-03-16" pubdate="pubdate">16. Mar 2011</time>
</header>
<ul>
<li>fixed installation of xboxdrvctl</li>
<li>added special REL repeat value '-1' to avoid jaggy mouse emulation movement</li>
<li>added "rel-repeat:" axis-event for better scroll wheel emulation</li>
<li>added --no-dbus, to disable D-Bus support</li>

<li>reenabled USBReadThread to work around ignored input events</li>
<li>'--daemon' is broken in this release</li>
</ul>
<p>
This release should fix the issue with buttons getting
stuck and events getting lost of previous 0.7.x releases
and bring it on par with 0.6.6, '--daemon' mode however
is now broken and will require a larger code
restructuring to get fixed.

<h2>Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>runs in userspace on top
of <a href="http://www.libusb.org/wiki/libusb-1.0">libusb-1.0</a>, no kernel
recompile required, very easy to build</li>
<li>gives you what you would expect from a driver, like a
normal joystick device and a event device, works in all
games in which a kernel driver would work</li>
<li>allows you to handle analog-triggers as a single z-axis,
as buttons or as seperate axes</li>
<li>allows to handle the directional pad as buttons or as axis</li>
<li>allows to set the LED status of the Xbox360 gamepad</li>
<li>supports multiple gamepads, either by starting multiple
instances of the driver or using daemon mode</li>
<li>allows to remap buttons and axes</li>
<li>allows to transform events to allow things such as
autofire, deadzones, axis inversion, axis sensitivity
changes, throttle emulation, etc.</li>
<li>supports macro programming</li>
<li>allows launching applications on a button press</li>
</ul>

<h2>Supported and tested devices</h2>
<ul>
<li>Xbox1 controller, both official and third party</li>
<li>Xbox360 USB controller</li>
<li>Xbox360 wireless controller via the USB wireless receiver</li>
<li>Xbox360 USB guitar and drum kit</li>
<li>Thrustmaster Dual Power 3 Gamepad</li>
<li>any joystick support by Linux via the evdev interface</li>
</ul>
<h2>How to help</h2>
<p>
Chatpad support is currently working only for the wired
USB controllers, not the wireless ones. As both work a
little different one can't just apply code from one to the
other. Capturing the USB communication between an real
Xbox360 and the wireless receiver should however be
possible if somebody has both an USB protocol analyzer and
an Xbox360 to take apport. The wireless receiver in an
Xbox360 is internally connected via regular USB, it just
uses a non-standard connector, so some soldering might be
required.

<h2>Binary Package Download</h2>
<p>
Prebuild official binary packages are available for Ubuntu
15.10 can be obtained from
the <a href="https://launchpad.net/~grumbel/+archive/ppa">PPA</a>.
To automatically add the repository to
the <tt>sources.list</tt> and install <tt>xboxdrv</tt>
use:
</p>
<div class="code">
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grumbel/ppa<br/>
sudo apt-get update<br/>
sudo apt-get install xboxdrv<br/>
<!--sudo apt-get install xboxdrv-stable-->
</div>
<p>
Note that there are two xboxdrv packages in the
repository, the <tt>xboxdrv</tt> package is the latest
version, with the most features, but also potentially bugs
and issues. The <tt>xboxdrv-stable</tt> package is simply
an older version of xboxdrv for which no critical bugs are
know.
</p>
<!--
<p>
or click the apturl link below:
</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li><a href="apt:apt+http://launchpad.net/~grumbel/ppa?package=xboxdrv">Install xboxdrv</a></li>
<li><a href="apt:apt+http://launchpad.net/~grumbel/ppa?package=sdl-jstest">Install sdl-jstest</a></li>
</ul>
</p>
-->
<p>
That repository also contains <tt>sdl-jstest</tt>, which
you might want to grab for debugging purposes with SDL
applications.
