Xbox controller on Ubuntu and ROS (driver installation, issues and fix):

• Using an Xbox Controller on Ubuntu and ROS: (link)
• Userspace Xbox/Xbox360 Gamepad Driver for Linux: xboxdrv

Aside from the pure driver, xboxdrv also includes a rich set of configuration options that allow you to tweak the abilities of the virtual input devices that xboxdrv will create. This includes basic button and axis remapping, as well as more complicated things like mouse and keyboard emulation, auto-fire and throttle control emulation.
