Microsoft Xbox Series X Controller (with cable) not working

[Raist_BlackRobe]

Hello all.

I'm trying to make my Microsoft Xbox Series X Controller work for some time now and I'm not getting anywhere, so I'll explain my case to you in case you can help me.

First of all, I'm trying to make the controller work when it's plugged with an USB cable. I'm not trying to make Bluetooth work at the moment, it's not a priorty for me since I use the controller with the cable always.
Second, the firmware of the controller is updated to the last version. I have a dual booting system and I have updated the firmware in Windows.

I will explain how the controller behaves in Windows and, afterwards, I'll explain how it behaves in Linux.

In Windows:

1. I boot the system, and the light in the X button of the controller is turned off.
2. I press the X button, the light turns on, and the controller works.

Now, in Linux:

1. I boot the system, dmesg registers that my controller has been recognized:

I guess you have in your kernel configuration already CONFIG_USB_ANNOUNCE_NEW_DEVICES enabled (but check it). You will need also all 3:
CONFIG_USB_HID
CONFIG_HID_PID *)
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV
Especially (*) because:

It didn't work.

I was missing CONFIG_USB_GADGET and all the options below it that you posted, but, as I said, it didn't work.

Thanks for the ideas, though. There were things that I had not tested. One of those things I have not tested will be the correct solution. Eventually.
