Okay so I've done alot of trial and error on the subject of gaming on Ubuntu and Mint, all on fresh installs fully updated. Lately I installed the latest Ubuntu LTS 64 bit on my rig.

I installed all updates, my 32 bit libraries, Steam, and my amd graphics driver first off. Then I installed Team Fortress 2 on steam. I've heard a lot of peoples controllers work right off the bat on steam but all of mine did not.

My controllers are as follows:

-Blue Rock candy brand 360 controller

-Official Microsoft Hard Wired 360 Controller

-White PowerA brand Micro 360 controller

Okay so first its plugged in and it shows the first player light on like it should be working. All of them do this so that's good i assume as the driver at least detects it in someway as its not just blindly blinking. So I go into TF2 to see if it works. The options wont detect any input and when I bring up valve's console and exec 360controller everything says all joy buttons are not valid keys. So I do some digging and ran across this makeuseof.com page.

I used the command to see if it would list my pad anywhere but it said just usbcore driver no "led device" or "pad1" just nothing. I have tried both my USB 2.0 & 3.0 Ports Obviously this is a driver problem of sorts Any help would be highly appreciated.

My Computer's Hardware is as follows:

  • Am3 AMD Phenom X4 965 3.4 CPU * HIS Radeon HD 7750 PCI ex * 2013 MSI 970A-G43 Mainboard * 8GB DDR3 RAM Gskill Ripjaws * 5.1 Diamond Extreme sound pci sound card.

I will be digging into this issue as i have been this week in other words

What should I do ?

please :3 I will be quick to respond and will post things as I find them.

I suppose you are trying to connect with a XBox 360 wireless controller with a charger cord or directly with bluetooth? This won't work.

You will need to buy either a Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming receiver for Windows or, if you want to have a wired controller, you need to buy Xbox 360 Controller for Windows.

I own myself a Xbox 360 and have been trying the same thing like you did. This article from Canonical guides you through the process.

Got the Black wired 360 controller to recognize on TF2! I waited till game loaded and plugged it in when i opened options :D. Don't know if this has anything to do with it but i plugged the controller into a 5 port usb extension i got from big lots a while back. I shall add if i make any more progress.
