[Bug 1272765] Re: Xbox 360 wireless controller light continues blinking after sync with receiver
Finally there is some movement! The bug seems to be fixed in Kernel
Version 4.2. Valves fixes were imported to the main linux kernel on June
22:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/75b7f05d2798ee3a1cc5bbdd54acd0e318a80396.
The steamos-xpad-dkms package should work fine in 14.04 and above, as
stated before. Maybe you should try to reconnect and resync your
dongle!?

Title:
Xbox 360 wireless controller light continues blinking after sync with
receiver
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I'm trying to use an Xbox 360 wireless gamepad with Ubuntu 13.10
64-bit (I've confirmed that this bug affects 14.04 as well). For
background, the 360 wireless controller uses a receiver (also made by
Microsoft) that plugs into a PC via USB. The controller syncs with
the receiver by pressing a button on both.
The "xpad" driver in the kernel seems to support most of its
functionality just fine, but the light on the controller continues
flashing forever after syncing with the receiver. Having a constant
blinking light on one's controller is annoying and makes the user
experience feel sloppy.
As best I can tell, the version of the xpad driver in the mainline
kernel hasn't been touched in a few years. Valve, creators of Steam
and SteamOS, have done work on the driver recently and have fixed this
bug. (Ubuntu PPA for this driver here:
https://launchpad.net/~mdeslaur/+archive/steamos )
It would be really nice if 14.04 and all future versions of Ubuntu could use Valve's version of this driver, as it's the version being actively maintained. Without it, gamers trying out Ubuntu will get a low impression of Ubuntu's polish and support for gaming.
