for the first half, it looks like steam is applying the desktop scheme to steam input.
For the second half, does the controller break steam if it is connected beforehand?

merviusOP•4/30/24, 9:19 PM

Yes

merviusOP•4/30/24, 9:19 PM

steam completely locks up

merviusOP•4/30/24, 9:19 PM

unusable

merviusOP•4/30/24, 9:19 PM

The controller isn't detected by steam

merviusOP•4/30/24, 9:19 PM

not in the controller menu, at least

Zeglius•4/30/24, 9:19 PM

But steam freezes?

merviusOP•4/30/24, 9:19 PM

mostly

merviusOP•4/30/24, 9:19 PM

some buttons work

merviusOP•4/30/24, 9:20 PM

downloads freeze and you can't launch a game or open the store

Zeglius•4/30/24, 9:20 PM

And that is in game mode in a bazzite-deck image I assume? Or is the desktop one?

Zeglius•4/30/24, 9:21 PM

Though regardless, something like that would be seen running steam in the terminal to see if logs an error or something

you will not be disappointed with mine

merviusOP•4/30/24, 9:23 PM

It works when plugged in via usb, though

merviusOP•4/30/24, 9:23 PM

just fine

HikariKnight•4/30/24, 9:23 PM

not supported upstream so we do not support it
gnome and kde stomp on each others config files

KKyle Gospo If you link me to the fork I will look into adding it

TacticalBill•4/30/24, 9:24 PM

It looks like the xone github is merging pull requests occasionally despite not have anything new on their "Releases" page. I guess I'll just watch for that Pull for Elite Series 2 and try Bazzite again after!

Kyle Gospo•4/30/24, 9:24 PM

I mean I run my own fork, I'm happy to merge it earlier

Kyle Gospo•4/30/24, 9:24 PM

Let me take a look and see if that can be done cleanly

Kyle Gospo•4/30/24, 9:24 PM

Hardware enablement is big here, if I can do it sooner I do

porkloin•4/30/24, 9:25 PM

paddle support on elite series 2 would be awesome

Kyle Gospo•4/30/24, 9:25 PM

Just wish they had gyro

porkloin•4/30/24, 9:25 PM

totes

TacticalBill•4/30/24, 9:25 PM

oh awesome! Yes, the lack of headset AND paddle support for the Elite Series 2 controller is basically the only thing holding me back from ditching Windows for good!

porkloin•4/30/24, 9:26 PM

the one thing holding it back from being the perfect controller is lack of gyro

TacticalBill•4/30/24, 9:26 PM

ah yes! that would be great if the controller had gyro!

porkloin•4/30/24, 9:26 PM

i'm holding out hope that steam controller 2 happens soon

Kyle Gospo•4/30/24, 9:26 PM

I opted for a modded PS5 controller over that

merviusOP•4/30/24, 9:26 PM

wonder if it's just the steam controller that breaks tbings

Kyle Gospo•4/30/24, 9:26 PM

Really hoping we get a SC2

HikariKnight•4/30/24, 9:26 PM

paddle support is there last time i used the xbone elite series 2 on bazzite

merviusOP•4/30/24, 9:26 PM

But I don't have another Bluetooth controller to test

TacticalBill•4/30/24, 9:26 PM

TacticalBill•4/30/24, 9:27 PM

over bluetooth or using the wireless dongle?

TTacticalBill over bluetooth or using the wireless dongle?

HikariKnight•4/30/24, 9:28 PM

bluetooth

TacticalBill•4/30/24, 9:28 PM

the paddles work over bluetooth, but not with the dongle

porkloin•4/30/24, 9:28 PM

sounds like maybe paddle support has been contingent on the controller's firmware version?

porkloin•4/30/24, 9:28 PM

that pull enables for firmwares <5.x

TacticalBill•4/30/24, 9:28 PM

headset jack works over the dongle, but not over bluetooth....

porkloin•4/30/24, 9:29 PM

// Various versions of the Elite Series 2 firmware have changed the way paddle
// states are sent. Paddle support is only reported up to this firmware
// version.
