steam-devices VS arewewaylandyet

if you mean this ( https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-devices/blob/master/60-steam-input.rules ) in /etc/udev/rules.d , yes i did

Create an udev rule for the device, you can copy the rule for your device from here.

I am attempting to play Spelunky with a controller but I am not having any luck. Spelunky has a platinum rating on protondb and runs as expected. I am in a flatpak and I did install the udev rules from valve if any of that makes a difference. My controller works fine in native games.

I solved the problem by copying the 60-steam-input.rules file to the folder: /etc/udev/rules.d

this is their Github: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-devices

steam maintains udev rules for controllers that might help: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-devices/blob/master/60-steam-input.rules

Here is my open PR for the hori alpha for reference: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-devices/pull/42/files

To use a controller with the Steam flatpak, you need to layer the steam-devices package from RPM Fusion, or download the udev rules from upstream and install them to /etc/udev/rules.d/ (which is what I did).

> The effort you need to go through to actually use these depends on how your distribution handles the file permissions of /dev/uinput. Some of them have it as root:input, in which case you just need to usermod -a -G input and then relog to get it working. Others have it as root:root so you either need to go do some reconfigurations to change its permissions or live with running the software using it as root.

There's a trick to that. The TL;DR is "install the steam-devices package or similar" (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-devices/), which adds the following udev rule (and others, but this is the relevant one):

  # Steam Controller udev write access

It's tracked in an issue here with a label things that wayland do not support

Create tool! I like the style it provides. I recommend to add it to [AreWeWaylandYet](https://arewewaylandyet.com/)

https://arewewaylandyet.com/

We are still not Wayland yet. And my setup is personally blocked by both Xs.

Of course, you'll have to find replacements for some X programs, I recommend you visit https://arewewaylandyet.com/ and take a look. :D

I've found https://arewewaylandyet.com/ and https://wayland.app/ (but the latter appears limited).

https://arewewaylandyet.com doesn't tell the whole story, but it's a good place to start.
