Heyho

I bought a Mad Catz Fightstick TE2 for Xbox One because I wanted to play
some fighting games on Linux. I chose this stick because it has gotten good
reviews and I assumed that the Kernel driver should work because there are
already drivers for Xbox One controllers in drivers/input/joystick/xpad.c.

It turns out that the driver does not work and dmesg just shows

[12293.077720] usb 1-1.2.1: new full-speed USB device number 9 using ehci-pci

when plugging it in. Simply adding the line

{ 0x0738, 0x4a01, "Mad Catz FightStick TE 2", 0, XTYPE_XBOXONE },

(where the two Hex values are VENDOR_ID and PRODUCT_ID) to xpad_device[]
in xpad.c does not help either (which I naively hoped it would).
Try asking this on the linux-input at vger.kernel.org mailing list, the
developers there should be able to help you out better than this one
can.

good luck,
