Get a group together and we can do some problem solving
All zotac users
Are you willing to put time on it?
If I guide you through it
Okay thanks
so is that an "okay thanks i will help" or "okay thanks i will just wait for someone else to hopefully help"
Of course, but I am a very young beginner in Linux
thats fine, we got the ally x working with the help of someone with 0 experience through antheas guidance.
first step is always to get basic controls.
but i asked mainly because it took months before anyone was actually willing to help even get basic controls working on the msi claw as people popped in, said they would help get the data we needed and then leave an hour later 🤷
I try my best to learn a lot about Linux and mainly for Bazzite.
Msi is intel
SO it's different
We did the stupid display less thing in a day with bringus
Although still it's not ideal
yes but i was talking about basic controls not the other stuff
people came, said they would help and left immediately
If this thing sells enough we can fix it
At least the basics
from my understanding at least getting basic controls working is usually the easiest right
on my Legion go it also runs pretty smoothly
Here are my devices which were all found under bazzite. But I don't recognize anything under there except the controller
@antheas is the one who has to guide you since he knows what info he needs

Follow all the steps here and pr
Or drop a zip
Link please I'm on the phkne
Ok go through the other steps
Which of these you plugged in
sinwealth and logitech its my external devices
What extension is this
Is the orientation in gaming mode correct?
No, only this command in the terminal will get you into Steam mode
rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing=video=eDP-1:panel_orientation=left_side_up
only then was it correct
Ok I will fix that too
I need hid recorder ?
Wireshark on windows would help
I have only Bazzite on my device 😟
That might have been premature
Currently it is only the control inputs
many things work out of the box
You will need to dual boot for controller and bios updates
So I suggest you get it over with and reinstall windows now so we can also fix the controller vaster
okay I'll do that now 🙂 I'll let you know as soon as I have both systems back on
So now i have dual Boot System on Zotac
great
install wireshark and get a bit accustomed to it
I already fixed the orientation in the kernel so that will be included in future bazzite versions
i need to update those instructions for hid
but wireshark is still valid
you dont need hid recorder anymore
I also noticed that there is an screen in desktop mode during the new installation. This should also be fixed
an image?
Sorry screen
yes both wil lbe fixed
Thx
Do you need recording from every USB device?
no
i dont know how to explain this
but what i need is
for you to find the usbpcap endpoint the usb controller is in
and then open that, and make a recording where you change settings in zotac zone
then i will make a filter for you and you can see what youre recording
I have found it
I think this is the end point
yes
select only that great
What exactly do I have to do now?
when you start recording
you can see packets arriving
yes
open zotac zone
change something like the rgb
then save and send it here
then I will make a filter for you so you can see the commands
and after that you can make focused recordings for e.g., rgb
But should I open it with the buttons and adjust it?
sure
doesnt matter
just do something so we get some commands going
right ?
frame.len == 91
use this filter
just write it and press enter on the top bar
thenon the hid data in the bottom
then you can see the commands zotac thingy sends
go to the zotac app, maybe take some screens of the settings
then just record each section individually and write down what you did
at the end, zip and send
thats it
@antheas
I hope that was right
Do that for the first time sorry
i think so, i dont have a context for the recordings so it will be a bit tough
I will try to look them over closer tomorrow
some pictures of the ui would help
From Zotac Launcher ?
yea
you used zotac launcher for this right
Yes
Pictures @antheas
ok thanks, i looked at them
so lets add to the list
back buttons
rgb
and vibration/deadzones/remapping
as for fixing the controller for now without steam shortcuts
sudo systemctl start hhd@$(whoami)
will give you some basic tdp controls with touch gestures on the sides
BUT
fan curve might be wrong
then
echo 1EE9 1590 | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/xpad/new_id
try this it should fix the xbox controller until you reboot
if it works ill tell you a command to fix it permanently and add it to the kernel2 missing records from analog Stick dials
thats all time i have for today i think
try the command so i can give you the permanent one
Should I try it now briefly under bazzite?
yeah
ok mom
dont work
Folder Not found or file
sudo modprobe xpad
make sure you typed it in correctlyokay now its works then reboot bazzite ? @antheas
no if you reboot it breaks
does it work?

No, not in desktop mode. Only in Steam Game Mode @antheas
thats ok
happens when steam is active
ok let me give you a command
Does it not work in desktop mode?
no its because steam does desktop profile stuff
add this to
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/10-zotac.conf
then reboot and it should always workwith ' " ?
exactly as its written in the black box
run has an "
and then echo has a ' before it
so its correct
no doesnt work after reboot
uh looks correct
can you check you wrote it correctly
maybe i did the wrong dir its getting late
you can also try to change 1EE9 to 1ee9
i will recheck tomorrow
Ok, so can you send me the location of the file you made and cat its contents?
You can just take a picture of the cat command
Hey 👋 I managed to do it myself yesterday, it was just the vendor ID, the letters had to be lowercase
great, I will add that to the kernel too
How can I bind the steam shortcuts? Because these keys on my zotac are not working
well we need to fix those
you can run some stuff for that
but right now you cant
No problem, I'll just use it like that. If necessary, I'll connect my Dual Sense controller. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
sudo hhd.contrib hidraw
will allow you to view the vendor devices and get the ids of the front buttons
and maybe the back onesThis is when I wanted to drive up Bazzite this morning 😑
Your bios updated
Disable secureboot
Re-enroll mok key
In fact, it has turned on again.
It listed 4 IDS for me
Do I just have to add the IDS to the kernel?
Wtf
No I'll do kt
There should be a usage page starting with 0xff
None of them start with 0xff and sometimes when you restart Bazzite there is only sound but no picture. @antheas
We are cooked
Try to see the back buttons if they do something
