I have an XBox Wireless Controller, model #1914, and am running Ubuntu 24.04. I can get the controller to connect over bluetooth but it doesn’t show up as a joystick in jstest, evtest or steam. It doesn’t show up at all as a usb device in lsusb when plugged in. I’ve tired installing xpadneo but that didn’t seem to do anything. Any ideas?
The bluetooth connection definitly works:
