ok, so the screen was still upside down after disabling wayland, but modifying the screen rotation setting worked, and preserved the orientation even across reboots.

the problem before with wayland was that it would always change the desktop mode orientation to be upside down, I just tested and can confirm that this buggy behavior is still present with wayland.

So I suspect this might be related to steam. On NobaraOS Deck Edition, I've run into a somewhat similar bug where the desktop mode scaling would be forced to 200%, and it would always change right around when steam was loading

AruOP•1/6/24, 1:15 AM

And similarly on the LGO with Bazzite, on Wayland desktop mode starts off with the right orientation, but changes a few moments later

AruOP•1/6/24, 1:15 AM

Usually right around when steam is loading

Kyle Gospo•1/6/24, 2:02 AM

@Aru that should be fixed next build

CharlieBros•1/6/24, 7:07 AM

Also talk about Bazzite! It is a distribution with the same purpose, but it is built on Universal Blue, so it is immutable, and the developer community is very active, there are patches for different handhelds that are not found in other distros or that were first in Bazzite, I just helped in the translation of ReadMe.

Yeah, their driver on Linux is quite not complete.

They are still missing a lot of Vulkan extensions needed for stuff.

Either similar or better performance using less energy, go go competition!

RodoMa92•1/6/24, 9:57 AM

They seem to have a decent GPU at least.

RodoMa92•1/6/24, 9:57 AM

Problem is that 99% of issues with Intel graphics is with their drivers, not the hardware in itself.

RodoMa92•1/6/24, 9:58 AM

(And CPU was underwhelming, from what I read. I'm not surprised by that)

RodoMa92•1/6/24, 9:58 AM

Good luck selling the MSI thing with Intel Windows drivers on top :P

I found this on my quest to document how you connect most of gaming inputs with Linux (with a RetroDECK lens) and find if there are roadblocks and what they are.

Still WIP on the Wiimote entry for those that want to read it:
https://retrodeck.readthedocs.io/en/latest/wiki_controllers/controllers-motion/

Some things I did not know about what the efforts in happening right now in systemd on gaming devices:

EyeCantCU•1/6/24, 11:35 AM

That is extremely cool. Your documentation is put together very nicely. Had no idea the systemd folks were working on this kind of stuff. Awesome to see

Lazorne•1/6/24, 11:50 AM

If you are intressed I can keep posting my findings here

if that is ok by the rest of the bazzite team.
Else check on the RetroDECK wiki and I will document everything there.

I'm also trying to save up to buy some other old hardware controllers, it is easier to write a guide when you have it in hand.
Most things are not well documented, even by the emulators or even Valve.

EyeCantCU•1/6/24, 12:20 PM

I'm definitely interested and okay with that. A lot of documentation is lacking and it's nice to know what's going on, especially if it means we may be able to improve things here. I really appreciate it

Everything is easier with hardware in hand haha

Lazorne•1/6/24, 1:23 PM

Ok input detective Lazorne found something else:

This talks about an effort to add the Wii-U gamepad into the hid of the main kernel.
https://lwn.net/Articles/856552/
https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/20211027101043.31609-6-linkmauve@linkmauve.fr/

But the effort seams to have stalled.

It is based on the work done by https://github.com/rolandoislas/libdrc

It looks like https://gitlab.com/linux-wiiu/linux-wiiu

The Linux distro for the wii u have been keeping on developing it.

The hid exists in their repo here:

https://gitlab.com/linux-wiiu/linux-wiiu/-/blob/rewrite-4.19/drivers/hid/hid-wiiu-drc.c

Maybe it could be intressting for bazzite

I think it was mentioned already some time ago, but to be sure - rebasing from bazzite-deck to bazzite-deck-gnome will introduce instabilities to the system and is not recommended? (In other words, if I want to check GNOME deck version as a long time KDE user, I have to do full reinstall?)
