steam-devices VS game-devices-udev

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

I have it and I had to install this to make the gyro work on Switch mode. After that, it works just like it is meant to be, both on Xbox and Switch modes.

Download and extract the udev rules from https://gitlab.com/fabiscafe/game-devices-udev

Another thing that I did was set the udev rules for the controller. There is this repository that simplify the process a lot!

Anyway, for people who don't want to install the steam-devices package, you can also just manually install the udev rules from this repo: https://gitlab.com/fabiscafe/game-devices-udev. These are required for the controller to work with Steam Input, and also for some other apps like dolphin-emu.

How do I use this rules https://gitlab.com/fabiscafe/game-devices-udev/-/tree/main There is also apparently (expensive, but) vegan whey protein made from algae. I’d works the same way when mr bucket wouldn’t count out Spurs with Conte and Arsenal.

If you installed from Flathub, you'll also need to install the steam-devices package, or install the controller udev rules from this repository

The solution was to blacklist hid_nintendo and add some udev rules ( https://gitlab.com/fabiscafe/game-devices-udev ). Now Steam picks up the gamepad as a Switch Pro controller
