  • I'm on the newest kernel with a new install of Linux mint without ds4drv I have it paired as a PS4 controller now through bluejay manager just it isn't emulating as xinput, Ideally need it to work outside of steam too so maybe ds4drv is the only way.

    Linux mint PS4-PS5 controllers

    Random sleepy ramble.

    Hey I'm new to Linux and mint seems like the easiest to switch over to coming from windows. I have had trouble with pairing Bluetooth PS4 controllers and emulating them as xinput. I used ds4drv but that's a little outdated now. Also I noticed that catchyos just works after pairing it on my other PC. So I spent a while trying to get mint to work without the need of ds4drv, it kept pairing as a wireless controller that wasn't detected as an actual controller through steam or anything else.... I tracked that down to an issue with the Bluetooth manager and maybe missing udev rules so now I can connect using a different manager and it comes up as a PS4 controller....but now I think I need ds4drv to emulate it as xinput so I've came full circle.

    My question is do I need ds4drv to be using a Sony controller as xinput and also how does catchyos do it without ds4drv? And should I just screw Linux mint and switch to Catchyos?

  • Of course it's not just their problem, I just find it a little weak sauce for American's to start motioning slowly towards a thoughts and prays approach.

    They were told what they were going to get plain and simple, voted for it and now sit and watch as their own governmental system falls into decay. It isn't a question of the rest of the world in years to come but the reaction of a current petridish that could spill into other countries. I hope all the best to all who type on forums, write letters and make signs. Good luck but maybe the pens should be discarded.
