i hope some of the clever guys in this forum can help me.
first of all, i am not that long with linux, so dont hate me, for asking easy questions.
my problem is, that the steamcontroller seems to be in second line, behind my xbox-controllers. everytime they are plugged in, some games dont want to let me use the steam-thing.
in the same moment i plug the xbox ones out, the steamcontroller can magically be used.
i red some things about udev rules, and tried, figured out the js0 and js1 - connections and vendor and so on for the xboxcontrollers, but now i am somewhat helpless. do i have to change the 99-steam-controller-somewhat.rules or do i have to create a new rules-file?
i thought i read smth like this some weeks before in one of the comments to one article on the main page, but i couldnt find it anymore.
i would appreciate the help.
thanks in advance
sure, i am able to plug off the other controllers, if i play just as player one and alone, but if i play with friends (the main purpose of my steambox) i want to use the steamcontroller and as the host i also need to be player 1... but now i am always player 3 and often even cannot navigate in menus etc.
