I'm trying to play with xbox one controller, it's connected via bluetooth and it seems to work properly through Steam big picture.
There is one problem, in game it's not working. I tested few game, native or proton with no difference.
Running games with xbox 360 controller is OK.
I'm running Debian Bullseye and disable ERTM (cf. https://wiki.debian.org/Gamepad#Troubleshooting)
How can I fix it ?
From [what I've read](https://steamcommunity.com/app/300380/discussions/0/1726450077644370194/), what happens in this case is that games are seeing Steam Input's "virtual" controller as a real one, and then picking up the physical controller as that of player two, which causes various problems. I gather that this is an old bug, so it seems odd that it consistently appears on at least some current Debian-based distros. Still, I'm glad that it was easy to fix! :smile:
