Should work but without extra features wired
Can't help much more unfortunately
the linux kernel bundles xpad out of the box, when you plug in your controller check if the module is loaded with ‘lsmod | grep xpad’
if nothing comes up do ‘modprobe xpad’
check ‘lsusb’ to confirm your controller is indeed connected
if the controller does not auto work with this then we might need to make a udev rule
ATTRS{idVendor}=="2dc8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3106", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'modprobe xpad && echo 2dc8 3106 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/xpad/new_id'"
something similar to this
obviously replace the vendor and product id with whatever lsusb reports.
give us the ids too and we should be able to add the udev rule ourselves once its verified to work
