 This package provides additional configurations over xboxdrv driver (see xboxdrv home for more info at http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/).

Unlike stock xpad kernel driver, xboxdrv provides a wide variety of configuration options: it allows you to simulate keyboard and mouse events, remap buttons and axes, apply autofire, invert axis, tweak axis sensitivity, emulate throttle and rudder controls and send macros.

But while xboxdrv is included in its last version on Ubuntu 14.04, it lacks additional configuration to get it properly working.

This package adds additional configurations over xboxdrv:

- Clear broken configurations;
- Properly configure a upstart service;
- Manage xboxdrv service on System suspend/resume;
- Add support for user options at /etc/default/xboxdrv;
- Start with support for 4 joysticks;
- Add a "Joysticks" entry into System Settings panel;
- Easy ForceFeeback activation.

To install:

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/ubuntu-xboxdrv
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-xboxdrv
