It doesn't seem to recognize my controller? Can someone help me get this to work?? Xboxdrv won't recognize it and it seems even the computer will not.

Try the steps from this post. Basically it involves two steps:

1. Installing xboxdrv from a PPA which contains a more updated version of the package: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grumbel/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xboxdrv
   


2. Blacklisting the xpad driver by adding blacklist xpad to your /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf
   

Here was my solution.

1) Download the source code for xboxdrv from here:
http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/

2) I used the 0.87 version: xboxdrv-linux-0.8.7.tar.bz2

3) Extract it using the tar command in a useful directory:

 tar xvjf xboxdrv-linux-0.8.7.tar.bz2

4) Determine the USB ID of the controller by running watch lsusb and then plugging in the controller. The device should pop up note down the ID. Example: 0e6f:011f

5) In the src directory find the xpad_device.cpp file. (Not the hpp version!)

6) Open the file. Inside you should see a list of devices.

GAMEPAD_XBOX360, 0x24c6, 0x5000, "Razer Atrox Arcade Stick" ,
GAMEPAD_XBOX, 0x045e, 0x0202, "Microsoft X-Box pad v1 (US)" ,
GAMEPAD_XBOX360_GUITAR, 0x1430, 0x4748, "RedOctane Guitar Hero X-plorer" ,
GAMEPAD_XBOX_MAT, 0x0738, 0x4540, "Mad Catz Beat Pad" ,


7) Copy one of the entries and modify it to reflect your controller.

GAMEPAD_XBOX360, 0x0e6f, 0x011f, "Rock Candy Gamepad for Xbox 360",

8) Install required libraries for compilation. For other distros these may be different. This list can also be found in the README.md file included with the tarball.
sudo apt-get install
g++
libboost1.42-dev
scons
pkg-config
libusb-1.0-0-dev
git-core
libx11-dev
libudev-dev
x11proto-core-dev
libdbus-glib-1-dev

9) Uninstall xboxdrv if you already have it installed.
sudo apt-get remove xboxdrv

10) cd to the extracted xboxdrv folder and run scons.

cd /home/foxyv/Downloads/xboxdrv-linux-0.8.7
scons


11) After scons is done configuring the build, run make.

12) When make is finished building, run sudo make install to install the compiled application.

13) Plug in your controller! You may need to restart the xboxdrv daemon using sudo service xboxdrv restart

I tried long and hard to get xboxdrv to work with this controller. I recompiled the source code but it would crash. The driver built into the kernel worked but it wasn't loading by default. That was an easy fix.

I just had to run modprobe xpad as root. When I unplugged the controller and plugged it back in, it lit up.

To make it start on boot make a file in /etc/modules-load.d/xpad.conf with the contents xpad and make sure the systemd-modules-load.service is enabled with systemctl.
