Public bug reported:
As the title says, when using the hidraw as input method, used by game
controllers in games in Steam big picture mode especially, is not being
detected by the gnome desktop, and so if you are playing a game using
hidraw only, the screen timeout will come out, and the session will be
blocked
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a game
- Play a game with a controller using hidraw as input, such as the RPCS3
emulator
- The gnome-screensaver timeout will kick in and lock the session even when
actively playing, as long no mouse or keyboard is used
What should happen
- Hidraw should be detected in the same way a mouse or keyboard does
I have NOT tested with a game using native evdev
My config is:
Steam + steam-devices packages installed, the steam devices has some rules for
hidraw to be correctly working with my controller.
I own a PS4 controller connected via bluetooth, but the same should happen on
USB as well
I used the RPCS3 emulator, which so far supports only hidraw as input method.
