<title>Running xboxdrv via xboxdrv-daemon</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>xboxdrv-daemon</command> allows you to run xboxdrv
|
|
automatically whenever you plug in a gamepad. Since
|
|
xboxdrv-daemon.py needs to know where xboxdrv is located you need
|
|
to supply the location of the xboxdrv binary manually if its not
|
|
located in <envar>PATH</envar>:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>% xboxdrv-daemon --xboxdrv ./xboxdrv</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can pass arguments to xboxdrv after a double dash '--':</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>% xboxdrv-daemon -- --buttonmap B=A,X=A,Y=A</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can also run scripts that get started after xboxdrv is started
|
|
via:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting><![CDATA[% xboxdrv-daemon \
|
|
--attach /home/juser/xboxdrv_attach \
|
|
--detach /home/juser/xboxdrv_deatach]]></programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>This is useful in Kiosk settings, such as a media center PC, where you
|
|
might want to restart the media center to have the controller working
|
|
properly after it got attached.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that you can't dynamically reconfigurabilty xboxdrv
|
|
when you launch it automatically via the daemon, so using this
|
|
daemon isn't generally recommend.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When you want configurability and automatic launching, it is recomment
|
|
that you write little startup scripts for your games, such as this:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting><![CDATA[#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
# Start xboxdrv and remember its PID in the variable XBOXPID
|
|
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button -s &
|
|
XBOXPID=$!
|
|
|
|
# Give xboxdrv a second to startup and create the device
|
|
sleep 1
|
|
|
|
# Launch your favorite game
|
|
your_favorite_game
|
|
|
|
# Kill xboxdrv and wait for it to finish
|
|
kill $XBOXPID
|
|
wait $XBOXPID
|
|
|
|
# EOF #]]></programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>That way you can individually configure every game and still not have
|
|
to worry about launching xboxdrv manually.</para>
