game-devices-udev

This repo contains udev rules to make supported controllers available with user-grade permissions

How to set it up?

Archlinux

There is an AUR package←

NixOS

Install the rules under services.udev.packages in the configuration.nix file.

1. Add the following to your configuration.nix

services = {
 udev = {
   packages = with pkgs; [
     game-devices-udev-rules
   ];
 };
};

2. (Optional) Add the following to your configuration.nix

hardware.uinput.enable = true;

3. Rebuild the system with nixos-rebuild

Others:

1. Download the archive
2. extract
3. copy all the rule files to /etc/udev/rules.d
4. create another file: /etc/modules-load.d/uinput.conf
5. put uinput into that file
6. reboot

If everything was right, it should work now!

Add my device!

We need you help!

In order to create an udev rule, we need some infos

• Excact name (from the box, for example. Best case with a model-number)
• Output of udevadm monitor --property (You need to disconnect the device before running the command)
• Output of the device directly, like in devadm info --query=all --attribute-walk --name=/dev/input/js0 or udevadm info --query=all --attribute-walk --name=/dev/input/js1

Merge Request

In case you have a working rule and want to get it merged you're free to do this. Please do one MR for every device you want to add. Also do not forget to update the README.md with the device name. Format:

# [VENDOR] [MARKETING-DEVICE-NAME]; {CONNECTION-TYPE}; {CONNECTION-TYPE} (VendorID:ProductID)

Known Issues

8Bitdo SN30 Pro+

In Android mode (START+B), if connected via cable the controller starts up, but gets removed by the kernel in most cases again. This does not happen all the time and there is nothing udev can do about.
