Hi Simos- Thanks very much for responding and appreciate your willingness to help with the issue. Should we open a new thread?
Let me give you some history on the issue.
- A while back I installed Steam using the guide at Steam/LXD - Funtoo
- I was able to get Steam installed and running using the guide and was able to pass through the controller to the container using a usb/hotplug device. The controller was an old style Xbox controller with a usb dongle. I tested the controller in the container without Steam running and the controller events appeared to be recognized correctly. In Steam UI, the controller was being recognized, but all the keystrokes were not recognized correctly. In games the controller did not work correctly and sometimes not recognized at all. Clearly something was not correct. Within Steam, I looked at the log files and the controller showed as a zombie device. That can not be good.
- This details my first post on the issue: LXC Steam Container and Xbox360 Controller Not Fully Working
- Here is another post on the issue: Lxc and USB Hotplug Device for Xbox 360 Controller - Support - Ubuntu Community Hub
- This bring me to current day and when I saw this post thought maybe I would try again.
I am really not sure what the core issue is at this point. Maybe something with the udev rules. Clearly controller support within Steam is complex and think it can be game specific.
Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated.
