I understand what you mean and have seen the changes you have made for
Quirky devices, this is clever idea and it should work, i can't test
it yet as the Xbox 360 controller is not added when connected, when
it's connected the usb_hid's usb_hid_device_added is not called. I've
found that the Xbox 360 controller is returned as B_UNSUPPORTED in the
file src/add-ons/kernel/bus_managers/usb/Device.cpp in the function
status_t Device::ReportDevice. The reason being as far as i understand
your code is that because the controller has the following rogue info,
Class .................. 0xff (Vendor specific)
Subclass ............... 0xff
Protocol ............... 0xff
Max Endpoint 0 Packet .. 8
USB Version ............ 0x0200
Vendor ID .............. 0x045e
Product ID ............. 0x028e
Product Version ........ 0x0110
Possible Kludge if(vendor_id == 0x045e && product_id == 0x028e) class =
0, subclass = 0 etc. I haven't tested this filthy kludge by the way
yet.
You may have to add a kludge for this device and change the class,
subclass etc to the correct values for your code when this vendor id
etc is found, i don't think your a kludge type of person though. If
your not then we just forget about the Xbox 360 controller.
Unfortunately a great many USB devices are in fact nonstandard
implementations.I have been trying to compile a list of offenders in
terms of manufacturers but at some point Kludges are simply going to be
needed to get a great many USB devices to function. A great number of
the USB class's are effected but specifically USB
audio,video,joysticks,tablets,musical equipment are all pretty high on
the non standard list.
would be nice if they could honor standards but for some reason
communications protocols are often viewed as IP.
Ok, this sounds interesting. What do you recommend i should work on
in relation to joysticks, gamepads etc. I may sound like i know what
i'm talking about :-), but my knowledge of the USB isn't that great.
Hey, you weren't being harsh, you guys have worked hard to get Haiku
where it is today and things must be done correctly. You don't want
zombies like me coming out of the woodwork and eating your code :-0.

Well, you could always host any non standard drivers at
www.haikuware.com if they fall outside of the cpliance standards for
official inclusion. Its not pretty but its functional in the end.
Keep up the good work and if you want feel free to email a working
Xbox driver. I'd like to try it out. There are a lot of Xbox 360
controller clones like Madcatz that use the nonstandard USB hid for xbox
compatibility.
Keep up the good work, there might be a way.
