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?
You must log in or # to comment.
Double check if Secure Boot is disabled, xone and xpadneo have known issues with secure boot.
Does the controller battery have enough charge?
Does the controller work at all? Have you checked it using Xbox or another computer? Does the USB-port work?
The bluetooth connection definitly works:

I don’t have another device to plug the USB port into, but it can at least get power from it.
