raelgc: I am slightly confused by your reply, possibly of my own ignorance. I am running Ubuntu 14.04 minimal. Should I be using the xboxdrv from Grumbel instead?

Okay, thank you for the advice. I will do that.

I purged ubuntu-xboxdrv, removed the ppa, and then installed xboxdrv. The issue that I reported above does not present itself. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to diagnose what is...

Yes, that immediately causes Kodi (xbmc) to go haywire. It's as if my remote is making continous key presses.
