Game controller for linux
 

Are there any controllers that are compatible with linux? Or has anyone had any luck getting a usb controller to work right in linux? Suse shows me that my controller is connected but the mapping software does not work.I tried installing in wine but wine does not offer any usb support yet.If you have had luck with a controller or joystick please let me know along with what type of controller.:scratch:

Depends what you mean by 'work right'. There's plenty of pads which get correctly identified and installed by the kernel, e.g.

If you have kernel source there is some further documentation in Documentation/input/joystick.txt. But then I don't know how you would go about configuring it for a particular game or app. I would think the application docs should give some advice. What's the mapping software you are using?

There is also a driver for the X-Box gamepad, but you have to get an adapter, or replace the non-standard X-Box USB plug:
