hey there! please activate the debug output and tell me where exactly is hangs (what is the last output before it freezes and whats the one after freezing)?

[blacksparrow123]

I'd like to, but i don't have hid-xpadneo in my /sys/module/ folder.
So, i dunno how to enable debugging.

[atar-axis]

what does
modinfo hid-xpadneo
say?

[atar-axis]

btw, there is another way to enable debugging output ;)

echo "options hid_xpadneo debug_level=3" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/xpadneo.conf

Hope that helps to find out the issue.

[atar-axis]

Under which circumstances have you logged the dmesg output?
Because there is not a single playing effect: ... message in it ;)

I need a dmesg log that was recorded while the problem occured.
Can you maybe tell us which game you are playing?

[blacksparrow123]

Ow, sorry.
I send a proper dmesg later.

I played a few games via pcsx2.

[atar-axis]

Have you ever tried any other gamepad - which has rumble features - in PCSX2?

[blacksparrow123]

I tried dualshock 3, but it didn't work.
Honestly, ds3 interaction with were very buggy.
I couldn't even assign buttons properly. This is the driver issue, so far as i know.

[atar-axis]

Sounds more like a PCSX2 problem to me, but I will give it a try anyway. Waiting for the dmesg now ;)

[blacksparrow123]

xpadneo_log.txt
Done this dmesg while pad froze and started vibrating.

[blacksparrow123]

Whoops.
Wrong file. This one is correct.
xpadneo_log.txt
Sorry. :(

[atar-axis]

Hum, looks normal to me at a first glance. Have you ever tried any other game outside PCSX2? (Like Steam)

[blacksparrow123]

I did.
There are some sync issue or something.
Input stops working properly and pad keeps vibrating for too long.

But only if i go about 1m away from dongle.
When siting next to it, everything works fine.
The only issue is that vibration is too strong.
But this probably controller issue, not driver.

DS3 for example works fine even 2m away.

[atar-axis]

Sounds like interference to me, furthermore the connection to the gamepad is established by the kernel, not the driver. I fear it is not a driver problem therefore.

[blacksparrow123]

:(
Well, i guess i'll be playing with a usb cable for now.
Thanks for your help anyway.

May switching dongle to better one help?

[atar-axis]

unfortunately you cannot use the dongle in linux since it is not yet supported by any driver.
have you ever tried to play in any other room or computer?

[blacksparrow123]

I meant bluetooth adapter.

No, i didn't.
But i have notebook with build-in bluetooth.
So i might test it later.
