Hello there
Yesterday I broke my rules and bought 2 cheap gamepads for my kids. I must confess I never tried any gamepad as I am not a gamer. After some years of linux experience I assumed just a simple plug and play would be enough for this purpose. NO, big NO in my case. I struggled 3 hours and finally got a solution by coincidence.
Gamepad xbox 360
Vendor:0x045e Product: 0x028e
SHANWAN
Device was recognized OK in system. It should work but:
xpad driver: nothing
xboxdrv driver: nothing
changing kernel version: nothing
final solution:
A short python script I have to run with sudo after pluging device. Also it needs pyusb module installed by PIP. Then, voila, gamepads work fine.

Lets hope this info could help and save some time for another Bodhi users...

EDIT: I asked my colleague for bringing his original MS Xbox360 gamepad. Yes, that worked as I expected. Plug and play
