I've had success on my previous version of Xubuntu (14.04) adding a Wii U Pro Controller simply using by using the bluetooth manager and selecting "Proceed without pairing" -> "Device successfully added" which seemed to add it perfectly fine and it would work in most games right away.
I upgraded to 15.10. Now it won't work if I use the old method, but it will if I select "create random passkey" -> "connect human interface device". Only problem is the gamepad starts controlling the mouse. If I push the left stick to the right, the mouse goes to the rightmost edge of the screen. If I leave it in the middle, it goes to the middle. Which is frustrating because with the slightest bump it will reset the mouse position to the middle as long as it's connected, and games which use the mouse to control the camera have the camera going all over the place.
I check "xinput list" and it gives this:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech Optical USB Mouse id=8 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech K230 id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Nintendo Wii Remote Pro Controller id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Burr-Brown from TI USB Audio CODEC id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
Things I've tried:
- Uninstalling xserver-xorg-input-joystick (it was never installed)
Phoeey and Matias Parmigiani's answers from this page (It returns an error of:
invalid property '' invalid property ''Ulao's response from this page. The first suggestion works, but I have to do it every time I connect the device. The second suggestion doesn't work because the file doesn't exist on my system.
Mark Bower's response from the page above also works but I have to re-do it every time I connect the gamepad, too.
Any other suggestions?
