Yes, I know. In fact I was using Lucid Lynx which also works with the xbox 360 wireless receiver and controller. And the reason this happened with the version of Ubuntu I was using at the time of writing this was when I had moved on to Jaunty I didn't know not to install xpad360 or what ever file that people were saying to install to get it to work, but I didn't know that Jaunty actually didn't need xpad360 to be installed because it had it setup to have the xbox 360 controller and wireless receiver work out of the box which is why the xbox 360 controller and wireless receiver was acting like the mouse because xpad360(what ever it was called) because i had installed that. It was a temporary fix for xbox 360 controller and wireless receiver for the Ubuntu version before Jaunty.
I never got around to testing to see if the xbox 360 controller and wireless receiver worked out of the box, but I know it works with Lucid Lynx: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=570642&page=17&s=284d5642056f9fc3afa32bf9fc0726e1 Do you want me to make sure that Gutsy Gibbons, Jaunty, and Intrepid all work with the xbox 360 controller and wireless receiver worked out of the box?, If so it will take some time, plus after the Ubuntu forums crisis I never did try to log back into my Ubuntu forums Dr. Clock profile, so I don't know if I can even edit that last comment, but I was really trying to help people out even though I was a newbie, and I am somewhat proud of what I was about to do even though it was so little, because I didn't know how to fix the hard drive troubles I was having at the time and so forth. Quote from me: "I just found out that my xbox 360 wireless controller and receiver works out of the box with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, or at least it worked for me out of the box. Of coarse for each emulator my controller will need to be configured, but that's a given. Eventually I will test some Ubuntu distros as to whether the usual xbox 360 wireless controller and receiver work out of the box. These will be the Ubuntu distros I will eventually test my xbox 360 wireless controllers with: Gutsy Gibbons, Jaunty, and Intrepid. Ubuntu Hardy Heron doesn't work out of the box, so the downloadable driver that Nicole posted at the beginnning of this thread will need to be installed with Hardy Heron. Ubuntu Lucid Lynx appears to working for my xbox 360 wireless controller out of the box. Also the blinking lights still blink, and I don't know if the triggers that were said not to work work or not."
