These are the commands I enter after every boot to load the driver (with Putty SSH client on Windows PC): Now what I want to do is have the driver loaded after boot without going into terminal or gaining access via SSH (like I do without leaving XBMC on the host PC). When I run the driver as root in terminal I can immediately use it in XBMC. So far I've successfully compiled the driver and mapped the keys in Keymap.xml for XBMC. I'm trying to enable the controller from boot and use it in XBMC. I've just finished installing the xboxdrv userspace driver ( ()) for Xbox 360 USB (wired) controller support.
