 jonhermansen | You might wanna watch https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=nGs8OuNBZMo , I just watched him explore how Steam handles input, where he creates an entire virtual libinput device that shows up in the Steam control mapping software | 03:33:15 |

| jonhermansen | I think also part of the same video, or another one of his from around the same time. I'm trying to find a tool that I used to create a virtual gamepad before... | 03:41:42 |
 Charles | i don't think i care enough to watch a 2.5 hour video about it as opposed to spending a few minutes skimming a manual somewhere | 03:43:56 |
| Charles | and i solved my original problems | 03:44:17 |
| jonhermansen | I thought it'd be relevant at least if you didn't find more info. Anyways, I think Steam uses SDL under the hood and has its own DB of controller mappings | 03:52:07 |

| colemickens | yall tried Wayland gaming? I installed Proton EM and pretty much everything worked. The only thing that didn't didn't launch with any Proton, with or without Wayland (even though it should've...) | 23:11:42 |
 Nila The Dragon | I'm actually dailying Proton Wayland as it solves a mouse capture issue for me | 23:36:19 |
| Nila The Dragon | But I actually just came here to ask if anyone knows how to change the keyboard layout when using PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND. Without it, Proton correctly uses my set input. If I turn it on (which I must because of the mouse capture issue) then it just defaults to english. | 23:38:55 |

| Charles | wait how do you convince proton to run games in non-xwayland wayland? | 00:08:26 |
| jonhermansen | Maybe DISPLAY= wine or run export DISPLAY= in your terminal before starting the game to see if it helps. Wine did have a feature toggle when the Wayland changes first landed... | 01:00:52 |
| jonhermansen | unsetting DISPLAY will prevent Xwayland from being used | 01:02:15 |
| jonhermansen | Maybe DISPLAY= wine or run export DISPLAY=; lutris in your terminal . Wine did have a feature toggle when the Wayland changes first landed... | 01:02:58 |
| Charles | technically that doesn't unset display, it just sets it to empty string, you want env -u DISPLAY command to unset it, and i asked about proton, not wine | 01:04:56 |
| Charles | i had tried env -u DISPLAY %command% in steam before (and again just now) and that doesn't work | 01:06:18 |
| colemickens | I use Proton EM with, env PROTON_USE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command% (you only need one of the env vars, either of both should work) | 01:06:39 |
| colemickens | I use protonplus to get Proton EM, set it as the default, and removed my game-specific overrides. | 01:07:01 |
| Charles | EM? | 01:07:01 |
| colemickens | Proton EM: https://github.com/Etaash-mathamsetty/Proton/releases | 01:07:59 |
| colemickens | note the wayland/hdr specific bitss in the release notes | 01:08:21 |
| colemickens | I think I found out about it (and protonplus) via reddit | 01:08:28 |
| Charles | i see | 01:08:45 |
| Charles | https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4638 | 01:10:30 |
| Charles | TIL github lets you subscribe to an issue but only when it is closed or reopened instead of also every comment | 01:12:10 |
 Marie | I'm trying to play Half-Life: Alyx with my Quest 3 with WiVRn
I got the game running on the first start, but it crashed and now I don't even get to the main menu, it just stays black
Any ideas?
Already tried verifying files, changing Proton versions, but nothing helps really | 15:01:15 |
