Linux & xbox controller about html5-javascript-gamepad-controller-library

[JakeChampion]

You are correct in that assumption, this library is OS agnostic in nature

Hi,

Awesome project! Saves me a lot of time.
I've got it working on windows, but the mapping in chrome / linux with my
xbox 360 controller is wrong.

I've been looking at the code for a way to override the mapping for linux,
but am I right in saying that currently there is no filter for platform?
mac / windows / linux?

Many thanks,
Thijs

Currently the OS is not taken into account. But the code to determine the gamepad mapping could easily support it:
Gamepad.prototype._resolveMapping() uses an env object which could have an additional os member for example (resolving the value would be a dedicated topic).
A gamepad mapping could then also specify an os member, which acts as an additional filter matching only if its value is also found in that reference env.

But I so far have not found out whether the unification of button layouts for the same controller across OS and browsers must happen in JS-user land, in the browser or possibly in the OS.

From what I understand, it is meant to be somewhat generalized.
But any implementation of the gamepad api I've seen had my mapping mixed up.

I also don't think I have a way to fix it in ubuntu.

It's also hard to find people with similar issues, since not that many people have ubuntu & an xbox controller laying around.

I think I'll have a go at that added os member.
