Genaric Xbox One Controller Driver
Posted : admin On 30.05.2020For a while now the Linux kernel has supported the Microsoft Xbox One controller officially. That being said, support isn’t the greatest. For starters there are some tweaks that could be done as well as the ability for multiple controller support and more. In this article we’ll show you how to set up an Xbox One controller in Ubuntu.
To be more specific we’ll go over how to use the alternative driver, the SteamOS patched driver, configuring the controller with specific tools, tweaking it, etc. If you’re a Linux gamer and the Xbox One controller is your go-to, you may want to keep on reading! Let’s get started!
Generic Xbox One Controller Mapping Hey everyone. I've got Steam running on Kubuntu 15.10 with a patched xpad kernel driver for my third party Xbox One controller (Afterglow Prismatic From PDP). Images generic xbox one controller From rpgplayer.org.
Using Xbox DRV
If you want to get the XboxDRV driver installed on Ubuntu, open up a terminal and enter the following command:
Once the driver is installed, everything should be mostly set up. No need to blacklist anything, as everything should work out of the box. However, in order for XboxDRV to work effectively, some systemd services will need to be enabled.
Start off by enabling the service. This will make sure that XboxDRV will work every time you boot right out of the gate.
Now that it’s enabled, you can start the service so that you can use the driver right away.
After all of this is done, XboxDRV should be operational.
Multiple controllers with Xbox DRV
Remember earlier when we said that the XboxDRV driver is better in some ways? This is the main draw to this driver. The default driver, though impressive, doesn’t have solid multi-controller support. We can’t confirm that it’s not possible; however, with XboxDRV this is confirmed to work.
Here’s how to set it up. Start out in a terminal and enter the following:
This is the default configuration file. If you’re looking to add multi-controller support, you’ll need to add the following code to this file. Paste it under “silent = true” in the file. Here’s the code:
After the code has been added, press “Ctrl + O” to save the file, and then restart the driver:

Download Moto GP ROM for Playstation Portable(PSP ISOs) and Play Moto GP Video. RomsMania - Play Video Games Roms for Free. File name: Moto GP.
After that you should be able to use multiple controllers.
Using the SteamOS patched driver
If you’re interested in sticking with the Xpad driver, you might be interested in Valve’s modified driver. It’s fixed up and specialized for SteamOS and Valve’s steambox consoles. All you’ll need to get it going is to add a PPA to your system. During the installation the current driver should be taken out, so no worries.
Start off by adding the PPA:
Serial numbers assigned in chronological order. 1927-1944 year of manufacture date codes, see. 'Spanish Year Of MFG. Date Codes' in this section. Nov 26, 2017 - 'F' prefix with a serial number lower than F498821 = 1989 thru Nov. Then under look up date of manufacture & typed in your serial #, the only. Feb 16, 2017 - All Savage firearms manufactured after December 1968 have a serial number which will have a letter prefix. This was done to clearly identify which firearms were manufactured after the Gun Control Act of 1968 went into effect. Since this information is readily offered here we will. Savage serial number date of manufacture. Our database contains values of serial numbers through 566,000 which ended the year 1950. Serials did not strictly run sequentially. Therefore, dates may be a.
Once the PPA is on your system, you’ll need to update your system’s software sources.
After that, install the driver (along with the kernel headers if you don’t have them already):
After the driver is installed, simply reboot your machine. From here, you’ll be using the Valve-modified controller driver with your Xbox One controller.
Get more out of your controller with AntiMicro and JSTest
Drivers are one thing, and they certainly can make your Xbox One controller better on Ubuntu, but ultimately, if you want some solid configuration, you’ll need to check out some programs – two programs to be exact, the first one being JStest. It’s a simple and useful tool that you can use to calibrate your controllers’ axis.
Install it here:
The second program is Antmicro. If you’ve ever used Windows before, you might be familiar with a program called Xpadder. What it does is allow you to map keyboard and mouse functions directly to any controller plugged in.
This is what Antimicro does. When your Xbox One controller is detected on the system, you’ll easily be able to map keys and mouse gestures to the controller. This sort of thing is perfect if you’re playing a game that does not have gamepad support.

Conclusion
Though we are Linux gamers, we have to admit one thing: Microsoft knows how to make a controller. Out of all the controllers out there, the Xbox gamepad manages to be the most comfortable – and it seems that the gaming community at large agrees with this fact. Both the 360 and the One controller are among some of the most supported gamepads on all of the major PC platforms.
Hopefully, with the help of this article, you’ll be able to get more out of the Xbox One controller on Ubuntu.
