I don't if you will want what's in the xpad360 folder that is the make file for this, if so please tell me. Will I need to post the before and after of those text files that Nicole posted? There are 3 other make files, but I think I have only tested one other xpad360 driver that was posted and I haven't tried to see what the difference are, but I believe Contrast's Xpad360 Driver was the other one I had tried a few years ago with success with I think Hardy Heron(if not it was Gutsy Gibbons), the other 2 xpad360 drivers where posted by MattiViljanen and psoplayer which I have with me but I haven't tried those drivers either and I don't if they are the same or not.

I made the mistake of saying that the blinking lights are the only problem with the driver Nicole posted, R26Otacon said:
"I just installed Ubuntu 9.04(Upgraded from and now my xbox 360 controller is being picked up well.
the problem is my Right and Left triggers are being picked up as an axis instead of a button. I've scoured up and down the internet for fixes for this in ubuntu 9.04. I can only find solutions for other distro's and whatnot. If anyone could. would you mind helping me or just downright telling me How to have Ubuntu detect "RT" and "LT" as buttons and not axes? it really sucks not being able to use them. Thanks in advance for the help."

BigSilly was one of the people who responded(I am not wanting to leave out other peoples quotes, so I will post the link to these comments so you can read their comment if you want:
"Yeah it's the same with my 360 style pad on Windows. The sliders are actually on the same axis and cannot be set as buttons. I have only a handful of games I can successfully use the pad with - Sega Rally Revo, PES 2008, Burnout Paradise, Jade Empire...other games just don't recognise the triggers as buttons, and MAME certainly doesn't. You can use the pad otherwise, just not the sliders."
