I have also been facing this, but my case is even wierder. When i opened steam, besides the fact that it would be delayed by about 20 seconds do to those ioctl messages, my keyboard would disconnect, needing to be replugged. Steam would open, but the keyboard would be unresponsive. I've downgraded to nvidia 515.76, and the keyboard issue dissapeared, but the ioctl errors still persist.

I'm also on arch, and using the latest steam version.

Edit: After a few hours, the issue seems to have come back, including the keyboard disconnect.

I have the same error on Arch/AMD, but like Dan it only delays startup.

It doesn't only delay startup. It disconnects my keyboard. I need to unplug it and plug it back in to make it work again...

Edit: the keyboard fully disappears from evdev. ls /dev/input/by-id does not even show my keyboard, but lsusb does. Xorg logs also confirm the keyboard disconnect.

so realised that the ioctl (GFEATURE): Connection timed out is a non issue and it's throwing segment faults.

Eellahin 2022-12-07 github

fat fingers closed it by accident

Eellahin 2022-12-07 github

okay this is a repeat of #8923.
killed the background service of keyboard visualiser and it works now.

Nothing extracted yet.
