  • Steam client version (build number or date): 2021-11-19
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch Linux
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Sometime this week, a steam update rolled out and since then my logitech g29 wheel(the one with PS3/4/5 support) is not recognized by steam and games properly. Games show an xbox 360 controller which has no inputs related to the wheel.
I have checked on the system's side, indeed a virtual /dev/input/js1 is created by steam.

Disabling steam input on a per-game basis or disabling playstation controller support makes it show up as a ps3 controller and games will not accept any inputs that are not also present on a controller (pedals, turning wheel) and the l2 and r2 are buttons on the wheel and get picked up as axes in games.

the system still has /dev/input/js0 which is the actual wheel and it sends events properly with everything working.

Here's steam's system information if it's of help

Apologies, I could've sworn I looked up 'wheel' and 'logitech' in issues

Edit: Ah, it's tracked in the proton tracker
