Some controllers that mimic the Xbox 360 Controller are not initialized correctly

[dnmodder]

I have a fake Xbox 360 controller, specifically a Fantech GP11 Shooter, it happens that this type of controllers have problems to work on Linux because they are first recognized by usbhid and then disconnected and reconnected as controllers of xbox 360, to then not generate any key event.

In this case my problem is identical to this: Linux gamepad - no input events

And this is very similar: #118

Using VirtualBox, Wireshark and usbmon I analyzed the traffic between the device and the linux driver looking for the initialization codes, after finding them I wrote the following script: fixcontroller.py

I do not provide more data, like the output of dmesg, because they are the same as the first link I left.

But if necessary I can provide more information or try any solution they propose, in advance I apologize if something is not well understood, since this was translated from Spanish.

I just got a new gamepad: Trust GXT 540 Yula. It has a button to switch between D-input and X-input modes: dinput works OOTB with no issues, albeit it has support for less features and some games don't accept it. xinput refuses to work, the device is recognized by the OS but no buttons or events are sensed. I asked why that is and someone pointed me to this issue.

I can confirm the problem reported here is the cause: The python script provided as a workaround fixes the problem and gets the device fully working in this input mode. Of course it must be ran each time after the controller is plugged in or the machine is restarted, which is very annoying and problematic to do (especially since it wants root access).

This is a concerning problem: Any information on when it might be resolved? Feel free to ask me for more data if it helps fix this... my OS is Manjaro KDE for the record. In the meantime is there an easier workaround to that python script, such as a bash script that does the same thing which would be easier to automate, or some OS setting we can change to fix the bad detection?

[MirceaKitsune]

Some basic info. First the device is listed as Bus 005 Device 024: ID 045e:028e Microsoft Corp. Xbox360 Controller by the lsusb command; It's not a real Xbox controller and IMO it was a bad design choice to label it as such.

The usb-devices command lists the controller as follows:

T:  Bus=05 Lev=02 Prnt=03 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 26 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=045e ProdID=028e Rev=01.10
S:  Manufacturer=SHANWAN
S:  Product=Controller
C:  #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=500mA
I:  If#=0x0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=5d Prot=01 Driver=xpad

Lastly for now here's the dmesg log piece after plugging in the device:

[dnmodder]

@MirceaKitsune I think it can be automated with a udev rule.

[MirceaKitsune]

@dnmodder Someone on Reddit suggested this. Unfortunately I never had to manually mess with udev before. Could anyone explain what needs to be edited and where and how? I can tell this obviously involves messing with root / system stuff and I'm always weary not to risk breaking something.

If that's easier, a script or command written in bash (no python) would also be helpful until this is resolved. I tried stuff like echo 1 > /dev/bus/usb/005/011 as a test to see what that does, but it just throws an invalid argument error and that's it.

[dnmodder]

@MirceaKitsune Write the following to a text file: ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idProduct}=="028e", ATTRS{idVendor}=="045e", DRIVERS=="usb", RUN+="/path/to/script.py" changing the script path, then save this file as 99-fixcontroller.rules (I chose that name at random) in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-fixcontroller.rules, then run the following command in a terminal: sudo udevadm control --reload That should be enough.

[MirceaKitsune]

Guess that script is the only way then. Mainstreamed it to a more permanent configuration. I don't mind executing it manually when plugging in the controller for now, but will keep that solution in mind too for ease. Thanks for all the help!

Also what happened to PR #120 if I may ask? I took a look and everyone says it's supposed to fix this issue, however it just dropped dead two years ago with no updates since. Was it just forgotten or is there a reason why it's waiting for so long?

[dnmodder]

@MirceaKitsune It is functional, since it does basically the same as the script but directly from the driver, but it is not written in the most adequate way, but it was the best the author of the PR could do, and I do not know how to program in C ++.

[MirceaKitsune]

Hmmm. Does it break anything in its current form? I support clean code, but over letting such an issue persist I'd take even an official workaround that's less ideal. Hope a solution in some form is found and accepted soon.

[paroj]

should be fixed with https://github.com/paroj/xpad/commit/2bfb0e171832b5035a9370300d7fdf4c57eb9497

[MirceaKitsune]

Thank you very much, I appreciate it! Anyone know which kernel version should have the patch? Once it's on my system I'll give it a go and hopefully everything will work great.

[paroj]

Anyone know which kernel version should have the patch?

this is not scheduled for upstream yet. You can use it with your current kernel as described here, though: https://github.com/paroj/xpad#installing

[paroj]

moved the fix to a separate branch: https://github.com/paroj/xpad/tree/fantech

I got reports that the change breaks other controllers in #171. As the controllers identifies as 0x045e:0x028e i.e. "vanilla Xbox360 Controller", there is no way to create a whitelist right now.

[amardhruva]

Perhaps we can whitelist it using iManufacturer SHANWAN. I have attached the lsusb output of my controller. lsusb.txt

[mrfixit2001]

@paroj Thank you for this fix and your continued awesome efforts! I had just started to reverse engineer the commands that pyusb issued to the kernel to build it and was VERY happy to stumble across your patch where you had done a far better job than I would have anyway!

Since it's been communicated that this new code is controller specific and breaks others, in my own build I've modified your new patch and added a new quirk to your "mapping" property that I then assign to the vendor+product inside the definition of xpad_device. Then instead of checking xpad->xtype to determine if the new function should be called I check xpad->mapping.

This solution is working very well for me in my testing for my gamepad idVendor=2563, idProduct=0575.

- UPDATE - Upon further testing I discovered that while the patch works for enabling the controller, the mappings/quirks are not passed through to the new xbox device - I need the triggers to be mapped as buttons.

The kernel first correctly creates the input for idVendor=2563, idProduct=0575 and after debugging the driver init sequence I can confirm this initial device properly maps the triggers as buttons. However, shortly after this happens the kernel then replaces this input devices with a new one with idVendor=045e, idProduct=028e. All input events are detected for this new device, which doesn't pick up the original mappings for the actual vendor/product, so my triggers are mapped as axis.

lsusb does not show my actual vendor/product anymore, it shows the new device instead. Bus 001 Device 003: ID 045e:028e Microsoft Corp. Xbox360 Controller

Here's my output after adding the product/vendor to the device table with the proper mappings:

[    4.879123] usb 1-1: new full-speed USB device number 2 using dwc2

[    6.452609] input: Microsoft X-Box 360 pad as /devices/platform/ff580000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/input/input5

Any thoughts on why that new device is being picked up with a different vendor/product? When I map it out, It appears to even being given an entirely different guid too confused face

For now, I've added code to the driver that inspects the manufacturer, and if it's a shanwan device it forces the triggers to buttons. Not ideal, but a hacky workaround until this gets figured out.

Another note is that suspend/resume do not work either because the mapping to tell the driver to re-run the init isn't there.

For what it's worth - here's my changes and workarounds. https://github.com/mrfixit2001/rockchip-kernel/commit/4c7d778b184947ad14099592ac859edda8cff0a0

[MirceaKitsune]

I'm sorry this is turning out to be so complicated to resolve. Will the next update still fix affected controllers, including the Trust GXT 540 Yula which is the one I use and have this problem with? If devices need to be manually registered in the module for initialization I'm fine with that, granted it works and someone will always be around to maintain the device list.

The dmesg you posted above shows the same product/vendor IDs that I have, and it's also using a shanwan manufacturer. The changes in my kernel repo would work for you.

[paroj]

thats actually a very good idea. I have updated the patch accordingly: https://github.com/paroj/xpad/commit/f44c551c7d4c91810ea0360459a19dbbfc5e81b8

please report back whether it works for you.

I also set MAP_TRIGGERS_TO_BUTTONS based on that - which will work until SHANWAN starts using real triggers..

[MirceaKitsune]

I'll see how it goes once it reaches my kernel. Only problem is knowing when the patch is in: Building my own kernel is a bit advanced even for me and I don't want to mess up my system, thus I'm waiting for the patch to make it in. The controller still isn't initialized in 5.14.0 so I take it this might come in 5.15 at earliest.

[paroj]

you dont need to build your own kernel for this - just follow: https://github.com/paroj/xpad#installing

[amardhruva]

I just tested the new driver out on a stock install of Ubuntu 20.04. Except the triggers everything works. Pressing the triggers seem to do nothing.

[amardhruva]

I unloaded the new xpad driver and loaded the stock 5.8.0-43 kernel driver while the controller was connected and everything started working properly. So it seems that the control sequence is sent to the controller but something else broke the triggers. Maybe MAP_TRIGGERS_TO_BUTTONS is the culprit?

[paroj]

which will work until SHANWAN starts using real triggers.

this happened sooner than anticipated - dropped MAP_TRIGGERS_TO_BUTTONS again in master.

[amardhruva]

Ah that seems to have solved the problem. Everything seems to work now. I will use this driver for a while and update if I find something. Thanks a lot @paroj for the fix. Stuff tested

• KDE System Settings -Works: all buttons and axes detected
• Steam Big pricture - Works
• Vibration in Steam settings - works

[filipemelo2002]

I am having the same issue here. Any updates?

[Jeronimo17]

How can I add this in the xpad.c to make it work directly without using fixcontroller.py?

 for d in dev:
        if d.idVendor == 0x045e and d.idProduct == 0x028e:
            d.ctrl_transfer(0xc1, 0x01, 0x0100, 0x00, 0x14)

I have tried to add it here but it says on compile that /var/lib/dkms/xpad/0.4/build/xpad.c:1398:11: error: too many arguments to function ‘usb_control_msg’

status = usb_control_msg(xpad->udev,
        usb_rcvctrlpipe(xpad->udev, 0),
        0x1, 0xc1, 0x01, 0x0100, 0x00, 0x14,

[filipemelo2002]

For everyone having the same problem, you can follow these instructions. I got mine working! https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/l1ty23/getting_a_generic_xboxone_gamepad_to_work_on_linux/

[Jeronimo17]

I have already succeeded :), Switching:

    status = usb_control_msg(xpad->udev,
        usb_rcvctrlpipe(xpad->udev, 0),
        0x1, 0xc1,
        cpu_to_le16(0x100), cpu_to_le16(0x0), data, cpu_to_le16(20),
        TIMEOUT);

For this:

    status = usb_control_msg(xpad->udev,
        usb_rcvctrlpipe(xpad->udev, 0),
        0x1, 0xc1,
        cpu_to_le16(0x100), cpu_to_le16(0x0), data, cpu_to_le16(14),
        TIMEOUT);

In xpad.c

Now it is recognized the first time, and no longer jumps out of mode automatically and you don't have to initialize it with fixcontroller.py. :smile:

I don't know if it is valid only for my controller that I put the picture above, or it is general in the shanwan. I don't know for which controller fixcontroller.py was made.

[fcorsino]

Thanks dnmodder for your investigation and providing the workaround fix in python! This had been haunting me for months now.

For anyone still having problems and wanting an easy solution, this script automates the installation of dnmodder's code plus the udev rule needed.

The install script is for a Gamesir G3w controller (045e:028e Microsoft Corp. Xbox360 Controller). If your controller has a different vendor and device id, you'll have to edit VENDOR_ID and PRODUCT_ID on the script.

[bradyhaley]

I kinda have a similar problem. But instead of the controller switching from PS3->XBox, Fantech GP12 switches from PS3->Android on Linux machine. I use wireshark, on Windows it switch from PS3->Xbox, and the device plugged in sound triggers twice. I wonder if Windows driver have special call so the switch order changes.

From dmesg below, it seems like PS3 controller is initialized properly, but then switches to android immediately. Does PS3 controller have initialization code too? The android mode is working. But the mapping is horrible, right analog doesn't work on wine, analog trigger and trigger button is pressed simultaneously, making analog trigger useless.

In my controller I hold the home button to switch modes. Optionally hold X button while the controller boots to go to xbox mode.

In my controller I hold the home button to switch modes. Optionally hold X button while the controller boots to go to xbox mode. … On Fri, Jul 22, 2022 at 12:12 PM bradyhaley @.> wrote: I kinda have a similar problem. But instead of the controller switching from PS3->XBox, Fantech GP12 switches from PS3->Android on Linux machine. I use wireshark, on Windows it switch from PS3->Xbox, and the device plugged in sound triggers twice. I wonder if Windows driver have special call so the switch order changes. From dmesg below, it seems like PS3 controller is initialized properly, but then switches to android immediately. Does PS3 controller have initialization code too? The android mode is working. But the mapping is horrible, right analog doesn't work on wine, analog trigger and trigger button is pressed simultaneously, making analog trigger useless. dmesg log [ +1,080919] usb 3-4.1: new full-speed USB device number 37 using xhci_hcd [ +0,191723] usb 3-4.1: New USB device found, idVendor=2563, idProduct=0575, bcdDevice=52.00 [ +0,000003] usb 3-4.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ +0,000001] usb 3-4.1: Product: PS3/PC Gamepad [ +0,000001] usb 3-4.1: Manufacturer: SHANWAN [ +0,008941] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000005] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000003] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000004] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ +0,000035] input: SHANWAN PS3/PC Gamepad as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-4/3-4.1/3-4.1:1.0/0003:2563:0575.00CA/input/input296 [ +0,000174] hid-generic 0003:2563:0575.00CA: input,hidraw5: USB HID v1.10 Gamepad [SHANWAN PS3/PC Gamepad] on usb-0000:00:14.0-4.1/input0 [ +0,189500] usb 3-4.1: USB disconnect, device number 37 [ +0,598251] usb 3-4.1: new full-speed USB device number 38 using xhci_hcd [ +0,192698] usb 3-4.1: New USB device found, idVendor=2563, idProduct=0526, bcdDevice= 1.00 [ +0,000016] usb 3-4.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ +0,000006] usb 3-4.1: Product: Android Gamepad [ +0,000005] usb 3-4.1: Manufacturer: SHANWAN [ +0,009759] input: SHANWAN Android Gamepad as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-4/3-4.1/3-4.1:1.0/0003:2563:0526.00CB/input/input297 [ +0,000579] hid-generic 0003:2563:0526.00CB: input,hidraw5: USB HID v1.10 Gamepad [SHANWAN Android Gamepad] on usb-0000:00:14.0-4.1/input0 [ +0,001419] input: SHANWAN Android Gamepad System Control as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-4/3-4.1/3-4.1:1.1/0003:2563:0526.00CC/input/input298 [ +0,055653] input: SHANWAN Android Gamepad Consumer Control as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-4/3-4.1/3-4.1:1.1/0003:2563:0526.00CC/input/input299 [ +0,000125] hid-generic 0003:2563:0526.00CC: input,hidraw6: USB HID v1.01 Device [SHANWAN Android Gamepad] on usb-0000:00:14.0-4.1/input1 — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#119 (comment)>, or unsubscribe https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/ABZ3C3754FNIND7LERTO2FDVVI7E7ANCNFSM4GHWG6TA .

OMG That works! Thanks!! I should have tried it out... Here's the full boot combination if anyone stumble upon this. A = Android mode X = Xbox mode Y = PS3 mode without LED B = PS3 with LED

[MirceaKitsune]

I tried holding the Home or X buttons even while plugging it in, no result. That python script is the only solution for my model. I'm still waiting for a permanent patch to finally make it into the kernel.

[amardhruva]

Have you guys tried the fantech branch of xpad? https://github.com/paroj/xpad/tree/fantech

[mrfixit2001]

If anyone still having this problem is interested, feel free to give the modified xpad driver in my kernel a try. I pulled in some other changes and also made some changes of my own. In my tests everything is working for my different shanwan clones.

I have a Trust GXT 540 (045e:028e) plugged in and set to Xinput mode. I have installed the xpad dkms module from the fantech branch @ https://github.com/paroj/xpad/commit/f21824c262c3b5e833b095f93fd8281a3f2c8562 but jstest outputs no events for any button press or stick movement.

Hmm modinfo reports a different .ko module file for xpad. I believe it's loading the kernel's native xpad module instead?

➜ modinfo xpad
filename:       /lib/modules/5.15.0-48-generic/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.ko
license:        GPL
description:    X-Box pad driver

...whereas dkms installs modified xpad under /lib/modules/5.15.0-48-generic/extra/. Am I missing a piece here? dkms log:

So here's the way I solved this: since the kernel was ignoring the driver installed under /extra I edited dkms.conf in the xpad source directory and changed the DEST_MODULE_LOCATION line like so:

DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/kernel/drivers/input/joystick"

The Trust gamepad is now working fine. 👍 All buttons, sticks and triggers (including sensitivity) events are being picked up by jstest.

As expected dkms kept a back-up of the original kernel module when I installed xpad from source, so it can be restored safely if needed.

It would be nice if the README included a note regarding this issue, so that users make sure where the original xpad install path is, if present, before installing.

If anyone still having this problem is interested, feel free to give the modified xpad driver in my kernel a try. I pulled in some other changes and also made some changes of my own. In my tests everything is working for my different shanwan clones.

I don't know how and can't risk using custom kernels unfortunately. My OS is Manjaro in case it's relevant or helpful. I'm still hoping the fix makes its way to the vanilla kernel at last eventually.

I would strongly advise against using a custom kernel just to get some fixes for a gamepad driver.

I'm using the xpad update in kernel 6.0.arch1-1 (Repo - Testing) on Arch Linux and it's working perfectly. I use GNOME and have tested it on Steam, Lutris and the Heroic Game Launcher. My control is a generic SHANWAN. Thanks to @paroj and the other developers for their excellent work.

I'm using the xpad update in kernel 6.0.arch1-1 (Repo - Testing) on Arch Linux and it's working perfectly. I use GNOME and have tested it on Steam, Lutris and the Heroic Game Launcher. My control is a generic SHANWAN. Thanks to @paroj and the other developers for their excellent work.

That is wonderful news! Please put it into the standard kernel in this case: The rest of us experiencing the issue may get to benefit from it in the next 6.x update then.

So, the current master on kernel 6.0 on Debian fails to properly initialize the Xiaoji Gamesir-G3w. The reason for this seems to be that the hid-generic driver “catches” it before it gets to xpad, after which the device resets and switches to mimic the 360 controller,

but apparently the hid-generic device doesn't send the initialization packets correctly, not does xpad anymore, which manifests with the controller showing the correct number of axes and buttons but failing to send any packet (button presses and stick movements are not transmitted).

If I add a comparison for xiaoji as an exception like the shanwan one, the initialization seems to complete correctly. However, the axis order is wrong: there is a “cycle” between the right joystick and the left trigger. The axis order set by the driver seems to be X, Y, Z, RX, RY, RZ, while the device seems to send X, Y, RX, RY, Z, RZ. Moreover, the LEDs are not set to the joystick number, whereas I'm pretty sure the last time I checked this they were being set correctly.

After adding option quirks=0x05ac:0x055b:0x80000 to usbhid (thereby preventing it from trying to bind with the device), thus leaving the init entirely up to xpad, the device still has the wrong axes, so I suspect something else might be at play. I do not have any joystick calibration / mapping data preset.
