I have both Steam Runtime and Steam Native installed. I also have the latest xboxdrv installed and enabled for my XBox360 Wireless controller, but the same issue happens with my wired XBox360 controller as well.
What I notice is the following:
- When running a game from Steam Runtime, my XBox360 controller works with no issues.
- When running a game through Steam Native, even with the xboxdrv service running, nothing works except keyboard.
In both instances, xboxdrv.service is running but it only works constantly with no need to restart the service when launching a game via Steam Runtime.
If I launch a game (or exit and launch a game again) via Steam Native, what I have to do is after launching the game is to pause it, go to a command line and stop and restart the xboxdrv service and then go back to the game. Then and only then will the controller work if the game is launched from Steam Native.
Does anyone else experience this same issue and have a solution? I don't want to go and enable XBox controller in the Big Screen area because then when Steam runs and I'm not in a game or paused, the left stick controls my mouse cursor on the desktop.
Below is my output from garuda-inxi as well as my xboxdrv config:
