[ts-7000] Getting xpad module to work on TS7800 (XBox Controller)

["bill.whiteley" <>]

I am trying to get the XBox 360 controller to work with the TS7800
SBC. I have tried a number of things as I will detail below, but if
anyone has any ideas I would really like to hear them.

Basically what I did was build a new TS7800 kernel on my Linux laptop
cross compiled for the arm, and I had it configured through "make
menuconfig" to include the xpad module. I then copied just the xpad.h,
xpad.ko to the TS7800 and gave the command:

modprobe xpad

However, it doesn't appear in /dev/input like it should. Below I have
some diagnostic outputs that may help diagnose the problem
