I have an htpc running ubnutu 14.04 minimal with xbmc. Problem is mupen64plus wont accept input from my wireless xbox 360 controller without a window manager. When I run mupen64plus from the terminal its says 2 sdl joysticks detected and says no rumble support, but wont accept input. I install openbox and now it works. I remember using 13.04 minimal without this problem. Also i'm using xboxdrv.

Well then it seems you solved it. Anything else we can assist with?
I installed 1.99-5 and it works.
Can you give me instructions on how to do it with the SDL 1 library?
Our pre-built binary package is built against SDL1. You can download a 64-bit linux package here:
http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plu...=mupen64plus-bundle-linux64-2.0-ubuntu.tar.gz
It is a bug when it works with SDL1. Because applications must hint the joystick subsystem that they want non-keyboard-focus events from joysticks (which you most likely don't have when having no window manager). This can be done with SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS. You can change this behavior with SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS, "1"); before calling SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK|.....
But I think that the no-focus-no-event is sane and should stay that way.
