closing this since steam "Gamepad" etc seems to work without issues
steam version: since forever, stable & beta
linux os: ubuntu 18.04
somewhat related, but not the issue.

the problem:
hori pad buttons are not mapped in steam's configuration by default
all buttons are empty and you have to manually bind each keyboard button to a controller button
workaround (outdated):
using xboxdrv the hori can be pre-configured as an xbox controller and steam/games think its just an ordinary xbox controller
no futher configuration is required (see script provided)
xboxdrv is not longer supported, but it still works with some issues.
