So I came from Arch over to deepin and so far I'm loving it, it's taken some getting used to everything not being so direct but its nice to not be at the terminal all the time I started up steam and went to play Don't Starve together, but to my suprise the Steam Controller wasn't working. When I plug in the dongle and press the button, it connects and I do feel the haptics when I touch the controller but Steam doesn't seem to recognize its connected and it doesn't do anything.
Using lsusb yields:
  1. Bus 002 Device 006: ID 28de:1142  
  2. Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
  3. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  4. Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1bcf:288a Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc.
  5. Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
  6. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Copy the Code
I've never had a problem with the Steam Controller on any platform. Can anyone help?

edit: In order for the Steam Controller to work the package steam-devices needs to be installed. I figured this was a dependency for Steam and was already installed. Sorry.
