As someone who had the mouse sensitivity issue this update makes the game finally playable for me ^_^

Steam Controller On Ubuntu, A Tweak You Need To Do

Quoting: ricki42What worked for me on Ubuntu was what Olling posted above:

Quoting: OllingEDIT
This works for me:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="28de", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="uinput", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"
How would that work? Are you in group uinput?

But i have that one in place. And the permissions on /dev/uinput are ok.

Have sort of the same problem. Gamepad mode does not work.

Have these udev rules in place:
This rule is needed for basic functionality of the controller in Steam and keyboard/mouse emulation
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="28de", MODE="0666"

# This rule is necessary for gamepad emulation;
# make sure you replace 'pgriffais' with the username of the user that runs Steam
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="olli", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"
Permission on /dev/uinput are correct.

I cannot use the pads in any game. Tried various Community Bindings on Portal 2, Left 2 Dead 2, Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy, Towerfall, etc.

Still cannot get it to work?!

Edit: Tried it on Ubuntu 15.04 and Arch. Same problem on both.

Quoting: MGOidAnd lets hope that Valve will implement a better gamepad control scheme for their games, because using separate buttons to reload and open doors in a modern game is ridiculous.
How would reload while standing infront of a door? :huh:
