Hi,

thanks. Unfortunately, this patch seems to create more questions than  
it solves ;-)

Since most of the xbox kernel patches I could find were rather old  
and wouldn't cleanly patch, I followed the instructions found here:  
http://www.phoronix.net/forums/showthread.php?p=4445
and use the files found here:
http://xbox-linux.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/xbox-linux/ 
kernel-2.6/drivers/usb/input/xpad.c
http://xbox-linux.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/xbox-linux/ 
kernel-2.6/drivers/usb/input/xpad.h
with minor changes as the post there describes:

except instead of commenting out, I just deleted the corresponding  
lines, since there's no point to carry old code in the source for a  
new version of the kernel.

The problem is, the patch doesn't work with these versions of the  
files, and now I don't know if I work with files that are
a) too new
b) too old
c) from a totally different, incompatible branch
for the patch to work.

If the sources I use are newer, then is the functionality of the  
patch already in there?
If the sources I use are older, then were is a more up to date  
version of the xpad.c to be found to which I can apply the patch?
If the sources I use are from a separate source branch, then which  
should I use and why, and why do we have more than one branch in the  
first place?

Just trying to get the cleanest (most applicable patches applied) and  
newest kernel running on an XBoX such that I have a good basis from  
which to work forward, but it's not like I know anything about xpad  
device drivers...
