[PATCH 2.6.18] xpad: dance pad support

From: Adam Buchbinder
Date: Thu Sep 21 2006 - 14:37:51 EST


From: Dominic Cerquetti <binary1230@xxxxxxxxx>

Adds support for dance pads to the xpad driver. Dance pads require the
d-pad to be mapped to four buttons instead of two axes, so that
combinations of up/down and left/right can be hit simultaneously.
Known dance pads are detected, and there is a module parameter added
to default unknown xpad devices to map the d-pad to buttons if this is
desired. (dpad_to_buttons). The patch was significantly modified from
Dominic Cerquetti's original version by Adam Buchbinder.

This patch was originally from Dominic Cerquetti originally written
for kernel 2.6.11.4, with minor modifications (API changes for USB,
spelling fixes to the documentation added in the original patch) made
to apply to the current kernel. I have modified Dominic's original
patch per some suggestions from Dmitry Torokhov. (There was nothing
in the patch format description about multiple From: lines, so I
haven't added myself there.) I've redone the diff to apply to
2.6.18 now. (Also added myself to the authors list in xpad.c.)

If there's anything that could be improved about this patch, please
lease let me know. Thanks!

This is the very first release of a driver for X-Box gamepads.
Basically, this was hacked away in just a few hours, so don't expect
miracles.
+
In particular, there is currently NO support for the rumble pack.
You won't find many ff-aware linux applications anyway.

+Driver updated for kernel 2.6.17.11. (Based on a patch for 2.6.11.4.)

-For now, this driver has only been tested on just one Linux-Box.
-This one is running a 2.4.18 kernel with usb-uhci on an amd athlon 600.
+The number of buttons/axes reported varies based on 3 things:
+- if you are using a known controller
+- if you are using a known dance pad
+- if using an unknown device (one not listed below), what you set in the
+ module configuration for "Map D-PAD to buttons rather than axes for unknown
+ pads" (module option dpad_to_buttons)
+
+If you set dpad_to_buttons to 0 and you are using an unknown device (one
+not listed below), the driver will map the directional pad to axes (X/Y),
+if you said N it will map the d-pad to buttons, which is needed for dance
+style games to function correctly. The default is Y.

-The jstest-program from joystick-1.2.15 (jstest-version 2.1.0) reports
-8 axes and 10 buttons.
+dpad_to_buttons has no effect for known pads.

-Alls 8 axes work, though they all have the same range (-32768..32767)

+With a normal controller, the directional pad is mapped to its own X/Y axes.

+All 8 axes work, though they all have the same range (-32768..32767)

is some limitation of jstest, since the input device setup should be fine. I
didn't have a look at jstest itself yet).

+0.2 Xbox Dance Pads
+-------------------
+When using a known dance pad, jstest will report 6 axes and 14 buttons.
+
+For dance style pads (like the redoctane pad) several changes
+have been made. The old driver would map the d-pad to axes, resulting
+in the driver being unable to report when the user was pressing both
+left+right or up+down, making DDR style games unplayable.
+
+Known dance pads automatically map the d-pad to buttons and will work
+correctly out of the box.
+
+If your dance pad is recognized by the driver but is using axes instead
+of buttons, see section 0.3 - Unknown Controllers
+
+I've tested this with Stepmania, and it works quite well.
+
+
+0.3 Unkown Controllers
+----------------------
+If you have an unkown xbox controller, it should work just fine with
+the default settings.
+
+HOWEVER if you have an unknown dance pad not listed below, it will not
+work UNLESS you set "dpad_to_buttons" to 1 in the module configuration.
+
+PLEASE if you have an unkown controller, email Dom <binary1230@xxxxxxxxx> with
+a dump from /proc/bus/usb and a description of the pad (manufacturer, country,
+whether it is a dance pad or normal controller) so that we can add your pad
+to the list of supported devices, ensuring that it will work out of the
+box in the future.

Once you have the adapter cable and the controller is connected, you need
to load your USB subsystem and should cat /proc/bus/usb/devices.

-In theory, the driver should work with other controllers than mine

+The driver should work with xbox pads not listed above as well, however
+you will need to do something extra for dance pads to work.
+
+If you have a controller not listed above, see 0.3 - Unknown Controllers

If you compiled and installed the driver, test the functionality:
> modprobe xpad
> modprobe joydev
> jstest /dev/js0

-There should be a single line showing 18 inputs (8 axes, 10 buttons), and
-it's values should change if you move the sticks and push the buttons.
