Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist
I have a wired controller I have been trying to use on my Linux laptop. the laptop detects the controller, steam itself detects the controller. however when i go to open any of my games with controller support. they don't seem to see it. i've looked at the steam settings and everything should be set right. however i'm very new to Linux so there could be something there i'm missing.
