Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/1] Input: xpad - add disable_xboxone module parameter

Ah, yes, that's possible. But it's too hard to generally use -
requires manual command line intervention each time the xbox dongle is
plugged-in and/or computer reboots.There's no easy way to robustly
automate this especially for layperson linux gamers.
A stripped-down and hand-compiled version of xpad is at least fully
automated, but only until the linux kernel is updated by the distro.
