Right stick joypad Input not working properly with Xbox Controller on Linux with 4.2.beta1

[Mikeysax]

Godot version

Godot_v4.2-beta1_linux.x86_64

System information

PopOS 22.04, Linux 6.5.4-76060504-generic x86_64, Ryzen 6800h, Radeon 6700m, amdgpu, Vulkan

Issue description

When trying to map inputs on the right stick on an Xbox controller (Elite or non-elite), the mappings are incorrect still on Linux.

This is related to #81816

I commented in the above issue when it was active but the changes made did not fix the issue in Linux.

This happens on two machines and also has happened across multiple Linux distros like Fedora, Ubuntu, PopOS, Manjaro.

This also happens regardless if I used xpadone, xone, etc... and regardless of if this is over bluetooth, wired, or xbox wireless dongle

Also, the Steam output is correct and I've attached a video of it below.

Steps to reproduce

When moving the right joystick:

What's the exact model of the controller(s) you're testing with?

Can you retrieve the UUID(s) and mapping using one of the tools described here? https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB#mapping-tools

It might be that it's just missing in SDL_GameControllerDB, or that we need to sync the past couple of weeks of additions.

I followed the guide and took this directly from the config.vdf in Steam:

"SDL_GamepadBind"

"050000005e0400008e02000030110000,Xbox 360 Controller,a:b0,b:b1,x:b2,y:b3,back:b6,guide:b8,start:b7,leftstick:b9,rightstick:b10,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,dpup:h0.1,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a3,righty:a4,lefttrigger:a2,righttrigger:a5,crc:f003,platform:Linux,"

Is this enough?

I'm using an Elite Series 2 model Xbox controller. The same happens for the Xbox Wireless Controller. They both seem to show up as the same entry in the config.vdf in Steam

This mapping seems to be missing in https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB, so it should probably be PR'ed to add to their list, which we'll then also get in Godot next time I sync.

I'm just puzzled that it's described at "Xbox 360 Controller", this might be Steam Input giving it a generic name.
Might be worth checking if one of the other listed tools in https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB#mapping-tools would infer a more specific name. But the SDL_GameControllerDB might have further advice about how to ensure the mapping is as accurate as possible.

BTW, you can test that mapping in Godot by passing it via the SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG environment variable:

SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG="050000005e0400008e02000030110000,Xbox 360 Controller,a:b0,b:b1,x:b2,y:b3,back:b6,guide:b8,start:b7,leftstick:b9,rightstick:b10,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,dpup:h0.1,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a3,righty:a4,lefttrigger:a2,righttrigger:a5,crc:f003,platform:Linux," godot

It worked; Caveat though that differs from the original string I provided which is a Elite 2 controller. I'm on a different PC now with a regular XBOX Wireless Controller. I pulled a different value from the config.vdf and then used it and it worked when playing the game.

"060000005e040000120b00000d050000,Xbox Series X Controller,a:b0,b:b1,x:b2,y:b3,back:b6,guide:b8,start:b7,leftstick:b9,rightstick:b10,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,dpup:h0.1,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,misc1:b11,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a3,righty:a4,lefttrigger:a2,righttrigger:a5,crc:9d50,platform:Linux" 

This was the output; there was an error talking about an input string:

SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG="060000005e040000120b00000d050000,Xbox Series X Controller,a:b0,b:b1,x:b2,y:b3,back:b6,guide:b8,start:b7,leftstick:b9,rightstick:b10,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,dpup:h0.1,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,misc1:b11,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a3,righty:a4,lefttrigger:a2,righttrigger:a5,crc:9d50,platform:Linux" ./Godot_v4.2-beta1_linux.x86_64

Ultimately, it worked when I used the env variable

Seems like the crc: field is a known issue with one of the mapping apps: mdqinc/SDL_GameControllerDB#476 (comment)

So the crc:9d50, part should just be removed.

Would you be able to make a PR to https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB/blob/master/gamecontrollerdb.txt with your mappings?

Sure, I can give that a shot

[Mikeysax]

@akien-mga Looks like the bindings were merged. What happens after that?

[akien-mga]

Thanks for the ping, I'll sync with the SDL repo.

Guys, help me solve this error,please, what do I need to do to make it go away? xbox series gamepad, I'm a newbie

[Hikitile]

@Shashlik25 I use this workaround on flatpak with flatseal

1. Open /home/yourusername/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/config/config.vdf

2. Copy the last line in "SDL_GamepadBind" without crc:1234

   Example:

030082795e040000ea02000001030000,Xbox One S Controller,a:b0,b:b1,x:b2,y:b3,back:b6,guide:b8,start:b7,leftstick:b9,rightstick:b10,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,dpup:h0.1,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a3,righty:a4,lefttrigger:a2,righttrigger:a5,crc:7982, platform:Linux,

3. In Flatseal, add the environment variable GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG=<The text without crc>
4. Start Steam

@Hikitile Thanks, works for me. U saved my nervs
