My Client Information
The issue seems to be related to the Generic Gamepad Configuration Support.
As a temporary workaround, you can try to disable it in the Controller Settings.
After doing so, my steam controller works fine again both wireless and wired.
Hi,
I have a similar/same Problem.
My Controller doesn't work anymore with Steam. Last time i know it did work was 4 December.
Your system information
Operating System Version:
"Gentoo Base System release 2.3" (64 bit)
Kernel Name: Linux
Kernel Version: 4.10.0-gentoo
X Server Vendor: The X.Org Foundation
X Server Release: 11902000
X Window Manager: KWin
Steam Runtime Version: steam-runtime-beta-release_2016-12-05
Steam also creates a crash dump every time i start it. However, except the controller, everything works.
I've also tried to:
The controller only work if i start the sc-controller software. Steam then recognizes the Controller as a Xinput Controller.

Some help would be appreciated.

Thanks! Yes, that works.
What does that option actually mean/do? I played only a couple of games (some with controller support such as XCOM, others with keyboard/mouse emulation) and the controller worked ok.
Hello, is anyone still experiencing this issue with an up to date system and Generic Gamepad Configuration Support enabled?

I just did a quick retest with Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Native Linux) and Monster Hunter World (SteamPlay). The Steam Controller works fine in both cases with all available Gamepad Configuration Support options enabled.
I'm using the latest Steam Client (1573780595) on Fedora 31 as operating system.
Thanks for retesting @maweil, closing as fixed some time ago.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Steam controller doesn't work with the latest beta client: the client detects the controller, then there's a crash mentioned on the console (steam continues to run, so must be some subprocess..) and the client seems to re-detect the controller a couple of times, but it doesn't work anymore:

This log was with the controller connected wirelessly, but the same happens when it's wired.
It works OK with the stable client (1482202200, Dec 20 2016 02:18:40).
I have the udev rules from the sticky post on the forums: https://gist.github.com/yoyko/1de651f06da004a236e1f677b9507d43#file-ls-l-dev
The errors look similar to #4662 except that there's no crash mentioned there and the client version are different (it works for me with current stable, doesn't work with beta...)
I have the dump file mentioned in the logs, I can upload it somewhere if needed...
