Xbox one controller not sending data about xpad HOT 4 OPEN

I have the same problem, I got it to work, but when I rebooted it didn't work anymore. I was using this when it worked: https://github.com/cgutman/xpad/tree/3rdparty

Edit: I tried on my laptop, because I'm trying literally everything, it works even without installing xpad, I just installed linuxconsole and sdl2-jstest-git to test the inputs. I really don't know what to do anymore
Edit 2: Apparently my PC can power external hard drives without external power but not an XBox One controller, while a Thinkpad T430 can. A USB hub with external power fixed the problem. Consider this possibility before you spend 48 hours like I did, searching for a software problem that doesn't exist

Please try again with the "powera" branch of my repo. https://github.com/cgutman/xpad/tree/powera

Once again thanks for your time. I have tried your branch and the result is basically the same. The controller powers up and i can get it to vibrate but i dont get any input from it.
Does anyone know, how i can enable verbose debugging to see the communication between the controller and the xpad driver?
I have successfully got my xbox one gamepad working on a previous version of my kernel :-(
Any ideas?
