Wondering if anyone has a workaround to treat controller inputs as something that will keep the computer awake. I like to have my power settings set to timeout the screen after a short period of inactivity due to having an OLED laptop screen (minimize burn in). Problem is if I'm playing a game with a controller, it doesn't detect that as being "active" and times the screen out. Right now I just go and change the power settings every time I want to play a game with a controller, but it'd be nice if there is a proper way to recognize controller inputs as well, inputs.

From some preliminary searching it seems the problem is they likely don't present as HID devices on Linux despite doing so on w1ndows. I couldn't find a solution to that; my instincts say that would need to be fixed at the driver level but its above my pay grade.

Thanks for any tips!

OS: Nobara (Fedora) 38

Controllers tested: Xbox series X|S (wireless and wired), Gulikit King Kong 2 Pro (wireless and wired), Logitech F

I'm attempting to run Spellforce 2, Shadow Wars from the CD's, but running into some issues.

It installed nicely enough using lutris and wine. When I attempt to run the game, however, I get the following in t the log:

 undefined

    
wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <=20, unable to use setpriorty safely
Initial process has exited (return code: 0)
All processes have quit

  

Not sure where to go from here. I notice it's available as part of a package of other Spellforce games from Steam, though not quite sure how they're pulling it off.

Any pointer is useful.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, i recently uninstalled mangohud because i couldn't figure out why 32bit mangohud wasn't working at all. i tried to compile it again with 32bit and now every time i try to launch a game that runs proton it just opens for a few seconds then crashes immediately. The only game that ran with mangohud was a linux native game. I tried to uninstall it again but with sudo apt purge mangohud and then decided to use the build script and the issue still persists.

Games that crash:

Bloons TD 6

Rocket League (via Heroic Game Launcher)

The game that did work:

Serious Sam Fusion 2017 (beta)

here is a video demonstrating what happens https://imgur.com/a/PaWVYgL

GPU is a 1650 TI
