x11 wii u pro controller buttons not working

[planrich]

hi, I have problems using the buttons of my wii u pro controller. The mouse of the left nibble is mapped to the mouse input. All other buttons do not work (I expect them to be mapped to keyboard characters). I read the man page of xorg-xwiimote and it says that it maps them to a default configuration (e.g. MapA -> KEY_ENTER).

When using xwiishow 1 the button events are shown correctly. I think I missed some configuration step.

xwiimote built from source

@dvdhrm Currently the pro controller is using the evdev driver. Would it be possible to map the buttons and joypads in the same way that the wiimote controls are mapped?
