Config file should be the same format as xboxdrv
It seems that the ubuntu_xboxdrv config file (this one) is a custom format, that lets you specify FORCE_FEEDBACK
, TRIGGER_AS_BUTTON
, and MIMIC_XPAD
. However, if you want to use any option other than these 3, you have to specify it as an xboxdrv
flag, e.g. XBOXDRV_OPTIONS="--dpad-as-button"
.
I don't think it makes sense to have a custom config file, especially one that only implements a small subset of options, when xboxdrv
already has a well documented config file: https://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/xboxdrv.html#idp65351024.
I think ubuntu_xboxdrv
should use the original xboxdrv
config file, and install it into /etc/default/xboxdrv
, and then run xboxdrv
with -c /etc/default/xboxdrv
. This would be helpful firstly because the xboxdrv
config file is much more feature complete and well-documented. Making this change would better unify the two projects, and allow people to share configs, if they're using xboxdrv
or ubuntu_xboxdrv
. It would also mean that people who end up on the xboxdrv
manual page aren't confused as to which config format they should be using.
I'm happy to write a PR to this effect, but I'd like to check if everyone thinks this would be a reasonable change.
