TRINE + Fedora + X360

The dmesg shows that Fedora recognized the X360 controller. Now if only I had a linux game which supported the controller.

After a quick check , I realized that TRINE had linux support and so I downloaded the 64 bit Linux version which was an .run file.

• 32 bit file has some issues which i am not sure of ( Not being able to install being one ).
• 64 bit TRINE setup installed fine , but the launcher doesn't work at all . I click the launcher , run the launcher from terminal. No response. 

Tonight will be a long one if i cannot find the issue with the launcher.

Wired Xbox controller

It has been a while since I thought I would get a wired Xbox 360 controller for some games which had support for the wired controller - TRINE , Batman ( the combat is just awesome with the controller than on the poor keyboard which at times fails to keep up with the button press - and when it's a laptop keyboard , need I say more ? ) , some support for BRINK with Smooth's config.

Store : Best buy , Polaris.

The expression on the guys face when I said I was looking for a wired X360 controller was noteworthy. People are going wireless and he is back to wired.A quick look and he claims that he cannot price match the 29.96 which amazon had and so I keep the controller back in its place and walk back. "oh , Sir - Extremely sorry for the mistake. I thought you wanted a wireless controller" . Sounded a bit hard to believe when I was stressing WIRED all along. Anyway , bestbuy matched the amazon price and I save $10.

The Greeter who saw me wielding a wired X360 controller asked me why I would buy a wired controller with wireless around. "To hook it up with a Laptop that I have to play some games" " Does it work that way ? . Thats nice then "

Back home and the OS & TRINE recognizes the controller without any issues and I play along. Oh , its fun :)

PS : forgot my windows live id password which I used for Batman : Arkham Asylum and now I have play the whole thing again . I am not complaining :)

Now , what will happen if I hook it up while in Fedora ? :D .
