xbox 360 controller works in mate desktop but not DWM?

Hello,

I just switched to DWM from mate desktop. I use my xbox 360 controller with steam home streaming. Worked perfectly under mate but it doesnt work at all in DWM.

The xbox controller light is on in dwm and I can confirm it still works under mate. I tried installing xf86-input-joystick but no joy. (didnt need this under mate)

Anyone know what makes this work in mate desktop or how to make it work in dwm?

Many Thanks.

PS: Don't know if it helps but my .xinitrc is just a copy of /etc/skel

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

setxkbmap gb &
exec dwm
#exec mate-session
