[avstheman]

any help?

[t0m]

what other stuff have you tried? a common problem seems to be the IR reciver for the dvd remote being plugged in...if you have one try unplugging it if you havnt already...or try booting your xbox with just your usb keuboard/mouse plugged in (no controllers) and load dsl that way (your arrow/enter/backspace keys on the kb work in evox). does the kb work in evox or any other apps?

not sure what else to suggest...good luck.

[friedgold]

What type of controller is it? Not every 3rd party controller is supported. Also are you sure the usb port works ok (i.e. have you had a usb device working with your Xbox before). Do you have your usb keyboard plugged directly into the port or do you have a usb hub? Does the keyboard work in windows without drivers or do you need to load anything to use it?

Do you have the ability to ssh into X-DSL as this would help diagnose the problem.

[avstheman]

i tried every combination of unplugging/plugging in all the devices. i took out the dvd receiver so thats not a problem. the controller is an s-type... also tried the original big controllers with no luck. the keyboard works fine in windows, no drivers needed, and even works fine in evox, but when i go to xdsl, it doesnt work... i dont know what the problem is

[LESTAT]

you need to be using a different keybaord.

some keyboards just dont work with the xbox.

this is about the only thing i can think of.
i actually have one that wont work at all. so i had to switch to a different one.

[avstheman]

it doesnt matter about the keyboard, i cant even use the controller...
no good with the different minirt24.gz... thanks though. i really dont know what the problem is with this.

[friedgold]

Sorry to hear it still isn't working for you .

Really with the Xbox we shouldn't be getting these kind of problems since everyone's hardware is roughly the same. I would expect these kind of things to either not work at all or work on everyones Xbox, so this has got me stumped.

If you are able to ssh into your Xbox with X-DSL running that might help us get to the bottom of this problem. You'll need to do a ftp install and add the cheatcode ssh into linuxboot.cfg (see CHEATCODES.txt for more info). You then need to use a ssh client (if you using windows try putty) to connect to you Xbox's ip address with the username root, pass xbox.

I'd be interested in the result of lsmod (should show all the loaded modules), dmesg (shows any errors loading modules) and also what happens if you load the modules manually (modprobe hid, modprobe xpad).

Hi

My problem is quite the same.

My keyboard and mouse are detected by "xdsl" but I can only use my keyboard as a mouse and my mouse can only be used for cliks and not for roll.

I tried everything that you said:

Only plug the mouse and keyboard
Change the mouse and keyboard to try with other ones
Replacing my .gz file


So I was at the last solution, ssh

I added the "2" and the "ssh" cheats to my "linuxconfig" file

**is     "2 ssh" before the word "frugal" is all I have to add or is there more to add?***


Then I booted my xdsl with those 2 cheats added

The linux boots but stops at the line:

mnt/auto/cdrom : not mounted

The problem is that I can't see the line ater cause my frame buffers are not changed.

Is there a line after the:
mnt/auto/cdrom : not mounted

??

So I decided to change my video buffers to see the next line but I need to write "fbset" in text mode adding the "2" cheat.

The problem is that xdsl stops at the same line and I can't write "fbset"

And even if I had the chance to write it, my keyboard is detected but can't write letters


The last point

Is there another way to "ssh" with xdsl else then adding the "ssh" and the "2" cheats??


Thanks

hi there, i've got the same problem. i have an s-controller, and its is not able to move the mouse pointer. even before, where you choose between "live cd" or "e:\knoppix", i cant choose between either, because the thing is not responding. so it just loads after 30secs the installation on e:\.

one other thing is that my scrren seems to be deadjusted, i cant see the stuff on the left side. i thinkm this has to do with the xcalibur on the 1.6 xboxes?

so, if anybody would have a solution for the mouse problem, that would be really good and help me much. thanx a lot...


---
edt: while i was typing this, i left the xbox on its own. the linux seems to have an screen saver, which turned on, its all black. not surprisingly i am not able to wake it up by pressing any buttons of the controller. and, in-game-reset is not working neither. so there must be a total failure in adressing the controller (maybe a v1.6 related problem?)

i hope someone is able to "debug" this huge text information, as it doenst make much sense for me... thanx for your help

[friedgold]

Well the xpad module seems to have loaded ok, but just not detected any xpads. For reference you would usually get something like this as the output of dmesg:

QUOTE

usb.c: registered new driver xpad
xpad-core.c: MS Xbox Controller S
xpad-mouse.c: Mouse Emulation @ MS Xbox Controller S
xpad-core.c: MS Xbox Controller
xpad-mouse.c: Mouse Emulation @ MS Xbox Controller
xpad-core.c: driver for Xbox controllers with mouse emulation v0.1.5

Could you try ssh'ing into you Xbox again but this time using lsusb. This lists the vendor/product id's of any connected peripherals. It maybe that you have newer revision of the S controller with a different id??? Run lsusb with the xpad disconnected and then run it again with it plugged in. When the xpad is plugged in you should see two new entries in the following form:

QUOTE

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 045e:0288 MS Corp.
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 045e:0289 MS Corp.

One will be for the controller itself and one for the controller's built in hub. What output do you get when you try this? For the controller to work the product/vendor id's must be listed here. If it's not it can easily be added.

[spuckigel]

ok, first thing which i maybe didnt prompt out exactly: the xpad demon has been loaded manually, after that i did the dmesg listing. i dont know for sure if that is important.

and this is my linuxboot.cfg

CODE

title 640x480
kernel linux24
initrd minirt24.gz
append root=/dev/ram0 init=/etc/init rw video=xbox:640x480 frugal lang=de norestore joy ssh eth0=192.168.178.25,255.255.255.0,192.168.178.1,64.59.160.13

anything incorrect in here? it didnt work with the original settings, so i started to try stuff here first, like loading country specific kbd, matching IP adress etc. one idea might be the counrty/region code of the box. i heard some games refuse to play when the region code is not matching their default? where do i check this?

so, i did another ssh session this morning (funny thing happend. as i have xbmc as dashboard and its usually working excellent, i seem not to be able to start the linux loader (default.xbe on e:\) anymore with xbmc. i had to start another file manager through xbmc and then start the linux loader.  no idea what caused this, and its still not working any more).

i started the x-dsl without controller connected, this is the lsusb result:

CODE

root@0[root]# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

looks like nothing connected. same result when controller pluged in again. no plug and play? same after loading xpad manually and trying lsusb again.

ok, i started again with controller connected, and confusingly, got the same printout.

CODE

root@0[root]# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

what does that mean? do v1.6 xboxes have different usb controllers in the chipset and the linux kernel (or modules) are not able to address them? by the way, my xbox is quite new, got it in april, the label says "manufactured in mar 05". maybe a new revision :-) v1.7?

[manu_xl]

maybe a silly remark ... but those input devices like a controller, keyboard, ... have to be plugged in before you launch xdsl

I'm not really sure the best way to solve this issue. You say the controller won't work in Cromwell either so I doubt this is just a issue with how X-DSL is configured. It might be best to post your problem to the xbox-linux mailing list.
