Comment 56 for bug 365435

Yes, I know. In fact I was using Lucid Lynx which also works with the xbox
360 wireless receiver and controller. And the reason this happened with the
version of Ubuntu I was using at the time of writing this was when I had
moved on to Jaunty I didn't know not to install xpad360 or what ever file
that people were saying to install to get it to work, but I didn't know
that Jaunty actually didn't need xpad360 to be installed because it had it
setup to have the xbox 360 controller and wireless receiver work out of the
box which is why the xbox 360 controller and wireless receiver was acting
like the mouse because xpad360(what ever it was called) because i had
installed that. It was a temporary fix for xbox 360 controller and wireless
receiver for the Ubuntu version before Jaunty.

I never got around to testing to see if the xbox 360 controller and
wireless receiver worked out of the box, but I know it works with Lucid
Lynx:

Do you want me to make sure that Gutsy Gibbons, Jaunty, and Intrepid all
work with the xbox 360 controller and wireless receiver worked out of the
box?,
If so it will take some time, plus after the Ubuntu forums crisis I never
did try to log back into my Ubuntu forums Dr. Clock profile, so I don't
know if I can even edit that last comment, but I was really trying to help
people out even though I was a newbie, and I am somewhat proud of what I
was about to do even though it was so little, because I didn't know how to
fix the hard drive troubles I was having at the time and so forth.

Quote from me:
"I just found out that my xbox 360 wireless controller and receiver works
out of the box with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, or at least it worked for me out of
the box. Of coarse for each emulator my controller will need to be
configured, but that's a given. Eventually I will test some Ubuntu distros
as to whether the usual xbox 360 wireless controller and receiver work out
of the box. These will be the Ubuntu distros I will eventually test my xbox
360 wireless controllers with:
Gutsy Gibbons, Jaunty, and Intrepid.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron doesn't work out of the box, so the downloadable driver
that Nicole posted at the beginnning of this thread will need to be
installed with Hardy Heron.

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx appears to working for my xbox 360 wireless controller
out of the box.

Also the blinking lights still blink, and I don't know if the triggers that
were said not to work work or not."
