xbox controller not working on TCL16 x86_64

[GNUser]

I've poked around Devuan so much that my eyes hurt. I feel like I'm looking for a needle in a haystack and am not optimistic about finding what I'm looking for.

I think our best clues at this point are the output of the  lsusb  and  lshw  commands in TCL, which I provided up in the first post of this thread.

I have no further leads at this point, would be grateful for any assistance.

Hi GNUser
If you run this on Duvuan:

Code: [Select]

dmesg > dmesgDuvuan,txtand attach it to your next post, I'll take a look and see if I
can spot anything.

Doing the same for TC would also be helpful.

Hi Rich. See attached. The relevant part is at the end--I plug in the gamepad at the 998 timestamp in TCL, 41 timestamp in Devuan.

Note how much more activity from  usb  occurs in Devuan.

Thank you so much for your help.

Hi GNUser

Do I need to manually create  /dev/input/js0 ...

Is it possible the device was created as  /dev/js0 ?

[GNUser]

Hi Rich. No /dev/js0, either.

My suspicion is beginning to turn to the controller itself. Maybe the manufacturer makes assumptions about GNU+Linux that aren't true of minimalistic distros.

I think the easiest thing to do at this point is to return these gamepads and purchase Logitech ones instead (used if need be). Every Logitech gamepad I've ever used work out of the box with mednafen on every distro including TCL.
