I use a wired Xbox 360 controller with Ubuntu, and although it works fine when plugged in with applications that let you select your controller, other applications like ppsspp default to js1, which is a blank controller.

Is there a way to make it so ubuntu-xboxdrv doesn't create these wireless controllers?

  • Why are you using ubuntu-xboxdrv? Is there a problem with the regular xboxdrv package? – John Scott Mar 26 '15 at 23:17
  • Apart from it breaking the suspend feature whenever I use it, no. –  Mar 27 '15 at 16:30

    I think you should use regular xboxdrv. ubuntu-xboxdrv is an unofficial modified version of xboxdrv, so I doubt you'll get help with it here on Ask Ubuntu. Install regular xboxdrv and see if maybe that solves your problem. If it doesn't, don't switch back to ubuntu-xboxdrv. (For when you install xboxdrv, you may get a newer version by adding the official PPA with the command "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grumbel/ppa". Use that and run "sudo apt-get update" before removing ubuntu-xboxdrv and installing xboxdrv.) – John Scott Mar 27 '15 at 21:18
