You should see the hoops people go through to make their controllers work, either installing user-space drivers, or finding out how to solve the problem by installing the right package: https://rudd-o.com/linux-and-free-software/how-to-use-your-xbox-368-controllers-under-fedora 99% of users wouldn't question why the driver is in another package once they know it's in another package. Took me about 20 minutes to figure out why my controller wasn't working because I couldn't even believe that there wouldn't be a driver installed out of the box. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
