Hi.
I was told this is the place to ask about drivers for using the xbox control pad in linux.

I would like to use my xbox pad on my suse 10 desktop pc. I already have the cable, im just not sure how to get the drivers from a xbox linux distro.

Any help much appreciated!

this forum is for gentoox, and not for suse. google is your friend.

Ok, thanks. I have tried that tho.
If someone know how to extract the xbox pad drivers (i believe are called xpad) from GentooX it would be a great help!

check xbox-linux.org's CVS and also the Magic Repository it may have what your looking for

I could not get it to work but thanks all the same.
I shall ask at the suse forums for help with it.
