Description
Game Name?

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
The GC-Pad dialog doesn't seem to detect any controller I plug in. I've tried my DS3's and my buddy's XBox 360 controller.
What did you expect to happen instead?
I expected the dialog to detect the controllers like it used to.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Don't assume we have ever played the game and know any level names. Be as
specific as possible.]
- Plug in controller
- Launch Dolphin
- Open the controller dialog
- Click the dropdown listing available joysticks
- See only the keyboard/mouse listed there
Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
I'm using Gentoo's dolphin-9999 (git) ebuild. Current git is not working. I downgraded to 4.0.2-r7 but the problem persisted. Phire's evdev-stable branch also does not fix the problem.
It started a few weeks ago when I did a portage update.
Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?
No. I don't know which version I was using when it did work.
What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)
OS: Gentoo amd64
CPU: AMD FX-8350
GPU: NVidia GeForce GT 640
The necessary kernel drivers are present.
Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
The controllers are working, just not with Dolphin. I can use them with Mupen64Plus.
