Chris,
Does your controller work as a joypad in the distro?
If so, you could use joymouse to use the joypad movements like a mouse:

I have this setup, so I can use a joypad to control my desktop when I'm playing MESS / MAME games.

Has anybody had a play with XFedora on an Xbox?
I was given an Xbox, note that this is not a 360, and decided that I might be able to use it to play things DviX files which might be stored on this PC or on my wife's laptop. So I removed the original 10GB(?) drive and put in a 40GB drive which XFedora has used. I had also tried various other distros such as XDSL and Gentoox but they only seemed to install in an F: partition which I didn't want.
I have also installed a modchip so that it can now boot without needing a modded game cheat.
My query is this. XFedora appears to be running version 4 of Fedora so does anybody know if it would be possible, and worthwhile, to update it?
Before everybody jumps in and says that it's easy to update, I should point out that I don't currently have a mouse on the box as I only have one USB adapter and that's taken up with a keyboard. I have ordered another adapter but that's winging it's way over from China now. If I 'startx' the system comes up fine (I'm not yet clear on how I will want to play any files on the system but if my wife wants to do this, I don't think she'd be keen on running things from a command line and hence the possible need for X-Windows) but due to the lack of a mouse, I can't click on the Update icon on the taskbar.
I can connect it online and Firebird will reach the outside world but if I try to run 'yum grouplist', it can't find any repositories. I suspect that's because it's an old version. Am I right in that thought?
So if somebody could point out how I can manipulate X-Windows without a mouse, that would be good too.
P.S. If the moderator is reading this, apologies for sending it through first time from the wrong email address!
