Public bug reported:
In order to get xboxdrv properly working on Ubuntu 14.04, there are 2
missing setups:
1 - This package should remove xpad. Both should be not installed at the
same time, so probably xboxdrv and xpad should be marked as conflict
with each other.
2 - xboxdrv can work in 2 modes:
(a) run in userspace: not too user friendly, as the user has to manually
add each new controller (running it again);
(b) xboxdrv can run at system start, on systemd. This way it'll run as
daemon, always watching for new plugged controllers (preferable).
In order to achieve (b), one startup script will be required. On 14.04 I
created /etc/init/xboxdrv.conf with the following content:
start on filesystem
expect fork
exec xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver &
Of course, my use of fork and & can be wrong, but is the way I found to
get the service command working fine.
