How do I get my Xbox360 controller to work in Ubuntu 12.10? [duplicate]
Your problem here isn't with Ubuntu or The Walking Dead, it's with Wine. That's the compatibility layer you're using to be able to play a Windows game on a Linux operating system.
I've already asked about this but unfortunately Wine just doesn't support joysticks in any meaningful at the moment. I'm sure there are some edge cases but there you go.
There is one workaround that I know of that may work for some things: Mapping the joystick into keyboard controls. It's messy as hell, and you lose the resolution of the sticks but for some things, this will be enough. You'll need to use xboxdrv for this, so blocking the built-in xpad module may be necessary.
Here's an example:
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --ui-axismap x2=ABS_Z,y2=ABS_RZ --ui-buttonmap A=BTN_B,B=BTN_X,X=BTN_A,TR=BTN_THUMBL,TL=BTN_MODE,GUIDE=BTN_THUMBR
I've lifted that almost verbatim from a thread on the xboxdrv forum. It's targeting Rage so in all likelihood it's not going to be perfect for you and you'll need to play around with the mappings.
