Hello good people, I recently switched from Pop_OS! 20.10 to manjaro and so far everything seems good, RTX 2070 Super is working with the Nvidia drivers, my Games from Steam and GOG Run very well… I have Just one anoying issue: my gamepad (Steelseries Stratus Duo for what it is worth) hast two Problems:
The X and Y Button are switched, they show up in the Steam Controller Layout properly but in Games they are Always Mixed Up (X working as the Y button and vice versa)
Even more anoying: the Left and Right Trigger Buttons are not … there. They already Show Up empty in the Steam Controller Setup (where you can review and Change all Buttons and mapping/action ) and I cannot activate them there and also in Games I cannot bind them to any action.
However before the Switch, with Pop_Os, the Controller worked perfectly fine, so I was wondering If there is a package Missing that I can Install, or anything…
UPDATE: added a screenshot of the Steam Controller Layout overview with - what I think - is the problem.
My laptop with Pop_OS! is out of commission right now, but should have a replacement coming soon ™. I’ll see if I can do some digging to see what they do differently in the meantime.
EDIT: Just looked and they do add some support for more controllers. No hardware ID’s for Steelseries, however. Just PS5 & Switch controllers.
You can try out their additions if you want. If it works, I’ll merge them in.
Before you begin, exit Steam completely.
Make a backup of the original file. Otherwise, you will have conflicting files later:
Now test out your controller and let me know if it works. Either way, remember to restore the backup of that file before the next stable update, otherwise there will be conflicting files and the update will fail.
To restore the original file, it’s just the reverse of the above:
@Yochanan - thanks for providing the file - I tested it after a fresh restart of the PC but I was not able to see any difference.
Games I checked it with: Control, Deus Ex: Mankind Devided and SotTR
for additional information please see the info on the system as provided with inxi -Fxxxza --no-host
@Yochanan - you know what? I DID work. Don’t know how, but now I was able to mitigate the missing config fpor left and right trigger on my gamepad configuration from the picture in the original post.
Just did not try this step at first, my fault!
Thanks a lot man for the quick help.
I’m glad it worked. I’m going to merge those changes into game-devices-udev, you’ll see an update to 0.10-2 here shortly. Don’t forget to restore the backup of the original file as I outlined above.
Tip: When pasting terminal output, highlight it and use the Preformatted text </> button. I’ve done it for you this time.
