[Help? :3] TF2 With Steam For Linux - 360 controller input. The Feb 14th Source Change: "Updated controller support for the Linux version", unable to use controller since.

[Cosmo]

Hi, I'm fairly new to the forums, though, not to Steam, or TF2. Anyway, my problem:

When I first started using steam for linux on around about the 12th, it worked perfectly, (with exec 360controller).

Then on the 14th, following this update (http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=9956) which updated the source engine's controller support on linux, suddenly the buttons seemed to spam despite being released, (especially LT and RT), causing my character to glitch out, only completing a portion of an animation before trying to perform a different one, making it extremely difficult, if not impossible to shoot/attack.

Ever since the update for tf2 that followed the one on the 14th however, tf2 has not recognised any controller input at all.

What I find annoying though is that steam's Big Picture Mode, still, and has always received my input perfectly.

I have tried everything I am aware of other than using xboxdrv, which is a workaround rather than a solution. Including:

"Exec 360controller"
(these two Executes did nothing, and had no console output but I tried them anyway for good measure).
"Exec undo360controller"
"Exec 360controller-linux"

I have also tried to enable the gamepad in settings: the mouse settings to no avail, and in the keyboard settings, which, prior to the 14th would allow me to map controller keys in the same way I would keyboard keys, but now doesn't respond to controller input.


Specs:

Distro: Linux Mint Cinnamon 14 (nadia) 64.
Kernel: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic.
GNOME 3.6.0

Hardware:

Memory: 3.7 GiB
Processor: Intel Core i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz x 8

Also. Do not bother to comment if you are just going to tell me to use a keyboard, as I have seen everywhere over the internet. I happen to have a disability, and some joint issues, and it's just plain rude.

That aside, please help me, I await responses eagerly? :3

Thanks in advance,
Marcos Cosmos.

Same here.
They added 360controller-linux config but its doing nothing and they broke 360controller.

[Cosmo]

Well, I'm glad I'm not alone! I did make a report to Valve through TF2, though it may not have been comprehensive, and they may simply not respond to non-ubuntu bug reports.

If you are on Ubuntu, may I ask that you formally report the bug?

[Cosmo]

Ah, okay. Thank you. I will, participate. (I think?, haven't used git in awhile)

BTW, I have started making a custom config to override the default 360controller with what were previously the valid bindings, or at least trying to, Problem is I forget what many of them are. Not that I can't decide what I want for myself, but for the benefit of anyone else who encounters this issue, it may be useful for them to use, to recover their default settings quickly. I Will test my new script first, and if the bindings are valid, post my .cfg and a link to the TF2 wiki on customising bindings, with a binding list.

[Cosmo]

Nope. The old bindings are also no good. :c

[SUSEd]

360config is broken and 360config-linux doesnt work atol.
What is main problems in creating custom config?

[Cosmo]

Getting similar (though not the same) isn't a valid key errors because I don't know the real bindings.

[Cosmo]

This is what I'm trying to bind. Just random guesses based on someone's config but they were probably on windows though.

[SUSEd]

Is it works?

[Cosmo]

But even the binds which don't retun errors don't fire on input.

[Cosmo]

It does not work. :C
