 |
|
Hit roadblock with xbox 360 controller which doesn't work in steam games. Don't have enough informations to diagnose it by myself. 
INFO
Gentoo Hardened -[14] default/linux/amd64/17.0/hardened (stable) *
tried Google, IRC #gentoo-*, Discord Gentoo == none knows.
uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 4.18.8-gentoo #2 SMP Wed Sep 19 01:58:44 -00 2018 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
uname -r
4.18.8-gentoo
wgetpaste -c "emerge --info"
https://paste.pound-python.org/show/IYTZYwzjpBSYntqHy1Uf/
wgetpaste /etc/portage/make.conf
https://paste.pound-python.org/show/bxF6uG1LqjkLjQnOsu2X/
wgetpaste /usr/src/linux/.config
https://paste.pound-python.org/show/zSaegECmwTUMiRGypWNl/ (X-Box controller compiled)
wgetpaste -c "eselect profile list"
https://paste.pound-python.org/show/ybCfOFNfoVrvdXiuB3TT/
wgetpaste -c Xorg.0.log
https://paste.pound-python.org/show/h5ANdcdfzceE0vXRGsr0/
Worked out of the box BEFORE on same system with /desktop profile.
SYMPTOMS
Controller had connection to a reciever after x-Box controller in kerner was compiled, but wasn't recognized by a steam.
After emerging `udev` (USE flag) is able to be used like a mouse, is able to move in Big Picture mode, but not recognized by any steam game.
TRIED SOLUTIONS
Doing lots of black forkery from google search results == didn't work.
emerged udev which turns it into a mouse.
added support for xbox controller in steam == no effect.
added user to input group
Removed udev USE flag since it's annoying to use xbox360 controller as mouse >.>
---
Thanks for any help,

I have xbox controller working fine in steam on my gentoo box. Would it help for me to post some similar info for you to see?
I don't know for sure but I kinda recall some small little tweaks involved so I can understand if that is really annoying. One feature that steam has that I don't know if you toyed with at all is the option for controller configurations...I think they are presets. Did you try anything like that?
When I get a chance I will connect the controller and do some hardware probing for you to see the drivers in use...I can't remember if it was a kernel module or what the driver is for that. |

Mine works just fine, you need some kernel options though...
| Code: | CONFIG_JOYSTICK_XPAD=y
CONFIG_JOYSTICK_XPAD_FF=y
CONFIG_JOYSTICK_XPAD_LEDS=y

Anything would help, but when i tried to resolve it i end up with controller that has mouse controls on right thumb stick and arrows on left used as mouse+keyboard. >.< |

| i use a ps4 controller with steam, works fine after settings>controller>general controller settings > and then setting up keys manually. Theres a checkmark in there that says xbox configuration support, maybe something to do with it? is it even recognized in steams controller settings? |
