http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1118864 Bug ID: 1118864 Summary: Possible easy fix for Steam Controller issues Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: samueldgv@pm.me QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hi everyone, I was wondering why the Steam Controller was not working properly in OpenSUSE although it's working perfectly in any other distribution I tried before. Turns out there is a permissions issue which I guess could be easily handled in the steam-controller package. Several non-Valve games should be affected by this, and I can confirm it with Hyperlight Drifter in my case. Steam fails to virtualise the Steam controller access due to not having permissions on /dev/uinput Doing a sudo modprobe uinput, or even more bluntly, a chmod 666 /dev/uinput fixes it. I wonder why the Games group could not have access to it for example? This issue also was handled before in steam's issue tracker, link below: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/4083 "Steam will try to open /dev/uinput when it sees a Steam Controller to create the virtual controller device and will fail to do so if it's not able to write to it." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
