Your system information

  • Steam client version: Built: Aug 23, 2018 19:47:27
  • Distribution: Linux Mint 18.3 KDE
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Playing games using a gamepad usually prevents screen savers or idle power save features from triggering. This is not the case when playing through Steam Play.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Enable some powersave feature such as screen auto turn off after 1 minute.
  2. Launch a game through Steam Play (Monster Hunter).
  3. Don't touch KB+M, wait 1m or play with gamepad for 1m.
