I have an Xbox controller that I'm trying to hook up to my PC which is running Ubuntu, but it does not want to recognize it. When hooked up to my Windows machine it recognizes it just fine as an unknown device, just as expected. It does not show up when I do an 'lsusb' but the other two USB devices I am using show up just fine. It also never creates a '/dev/input/js0' file like I have read it is supposed to do automatically. I have also loaded the 'xpad' and 'joydev' modules. I have tried two different controllers and they both do the same thing. After I hook it up, this shows up in my /var/log/kern.log:

I am fairly certain I hooked up the cable correctly, it is not hard to do at all. I suppose this is a possibility, though.

I tried Google for the solution, but I couldn't find anything relevant. Any ideas, anyone?
