Re: JoyStick - Xbox360 Controller - frozen

does the xboxdrv daemon need to be started via the root user?
xpad should just work now, its a builtin kernel module.

Re: JoyStick - Xbox360 Controller - frozen

Have you tried any other emulation programs to rule out the controller.
Maybe file a bug report to: https://packages.debian.org/trixie/jstest-gtk

This part here makes me question how it is you are loading the program, looks like you are using the root account when you shouldnt be.

Re: JoyStick - Xbox360 Controller - frozen

This line in your dmesg sticks out.

[11134.985048] xpad 1-2:1.0: xpad_try_sending_next_out_packet - usb_submit_urb failed with result -19

What are your system specs? Inxi is a good program to use.

inxi -b

Also dont use xbodrv, i just read it is discontinued.
I would completely remove xbodrv first, dkms or however you first installed it.
https://github.com/xboxdrv/xboxdrv

I fount this link to a similar issue as yours from the xpad developer awhile ago, it may help:
https://github.com/paroj/xpad/issues/114

Key points were to reload the xpad module.

sudo rmmod xpad
sudo modprobe xpad

You may be better off asking the xpad developer for further assistance.
