Has anyone tried the driver above?

User mitchelln told me of yawing problems with the Xbox 360 controller in Linux Oolite.

Has anyone managed to get the XBox 360 controller working in Oolite in Linux with or without the above driver?

Good news. The XBox controller worked out of the box in Ubuntu Lucid.

I did not notice any drift or other problems in the brief time I tried Oolite with it last night. Oolite allowed me to configure the buttons, axes etc.

I'm never satisfied though, so I played around with the userspace driver.

That also worked fine. It has some useful features like being able to map the triggers as buttons rather than axes. It also allows flipping axes and mapping buttons to keys on the keyboard, but I haven't tried these features yet.
