no, if the automatic config isn’t working, you need to do this:

first run this (which should have been done by the automatic install, but running it again won’t hurt. )
sudo apt-get install xboxdrv

then edit rc.local to contain the following lines:

xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 0 --led 2 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
sleep 1
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 1 --led 3 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
sleep 1
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 2 --led 4 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
sleep 1
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 3 --led 5 --deadzone 4000 --silent &

I have tried method 3 on that page, but have not had any luck with it. Only option 1 or 2 have worked for me.
