Hi there, I'm brand new to Wine and these forums, and I've jumped into this thread because it seems like that with which I am dealing.

I have an Xbox360 guitar controller, for which I have compiled and installed working drivers in Linux (Ubuntu Hardy - Linux gnivler-desktop 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux).  
jscalibrate seems to confirm the controller driver is working on /dev/input/js0, and cat /dev/input/event8 shows response to the controller activity also.

I have no output to the debug command also, which I had to execute with winedbg substituted for WINEDEBUG since I have no command WINEDEBUG that I can find.  I ran it with GH3.exe as the program.exe.  Zero output after getting into and exiting the game.

Forgive my complete noob-ness in this regard. but you previously mentioned using chmod to make the device(s) usable by wine, and I tried this with 755 and 777 temporarily without any luck.  Is there more required than just that?  Like the DirectInput registry additions or similar?

Thanks for any and all help.

Here is the output of lshal | grep input.device (doesn't seem to show any names at all):


Code:
  input.device = '/dev/input/event5'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event4'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event0'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event10'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event3'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event2'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event1'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event9'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event8'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event7'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event6'  (string)




and dmesg | grep Xbox:
