SteamDeck controller issues while using flatpack apps in Desktop Mode
Submitted 1 year ago by grinja@sh.itjust.works to steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
- Having issues when opening some flatpaks (I think only X11) in Desktop Mode, controller input stops working, I can only use touch screen. Controller starts to work after I triggers Controller Settings in Steam(still in Desktop Mode).
- Hydrogen
- Qtractor
- FreeTube (sometimes after resume if window is not minimized)
- How to set “power button” to turn screen off? I set option in “Power Settings”, but screen turns off, then immediately gets back on.

If you hold down the Steam button, do the controls work? And are you launching the apps from the Steam UI or from the start menu?

Did some testing last night. Managed to fix it while launching from Steam, I’ve set “Web Browser” controller template (will customize template later if needed).
Just tested launching from App Menu, looks OK.
I think Steam needs to run, even in Desktop Mode for controller to be fully functional. So restarting Steam App helps.
Not sure if running an app triggers “Gamepad” settings for controller even if it is launched by App Menu.
Anyway, it works now.
Still no luck with “monitor off” functionality, but searching internet, will see
