Title: Steam Controller Lizard mode

Hi

Please could someone with a steam controller test this:-

When steam is not running the steam controller enters lizard mode, which emulates a mouse and keyboard. This useful for selecting grub boot options, and basic desktop control. For me when running ubuntu and kodbuntu without steam its works fine when the steam controller is plugged in by usb, but does not when in wireless mode. The lizard mode works fine when wired and wireless in the bios. I don’t get it.

Anyone else seeing this?
