Hi,
today i have tried to use the Retroplayer Image for the Raspberry Pi2 and get it startet.
For playing games i want to use an Logitech Rumblepad 2 which is detected by kodi and listed on input devices.
But I cant configure any Buttons from the gamepad only the remote from the TV.
How I have to get it work and what i should do?
Thanks for help.

You did find the Settings > Games > Configure input menu?

Yes I did find these settings but by pressing a button on my gamepad nothing happened. Pressing a button on my remote will set these setting.
At the list of input devices is listed the gamepad with the right name but the information of the driver are the same as the Keyboard information (zeros and unknown). If it helps i could post a picture of it when i'll be back at home.
Any ideas?

SDL uses evdev on linux for input, so why would it need xorg (unless the SDL libs themselves have a dependency on xorg on linux)? Neither does the old joystick API for that matter, though not all controllers are supported correctly with that API anymore. An input plugin that used raw evdev like retroarch does would probably get round the issue any how.

So you are saying Bluetooth gamepads that are not mainstream will/can be supported eventually?

Well, I'm not a kodi dev, so I can't say what will be implemented, but if your gamepad has a kernel module that recognises it and generates evdev events, then in theory there is no reason it shouldn't be supportable without xorg and thus supported in OpenElec on the RaspberryPI.
