Unable to setup daemon mode for xboxdrv

Shatur · 2023-02-18 11:40:22

Hi! I have a controller that I successfully configured using xboxdrv. The following command works as expected:

xboxdrv --evdev /dev/input/by-path/platform-xhci-hcd.2.auto-usb-0:1:1.0-event-joystick --config ~/.config/xboxdrv/gamesir.conf

But I can't figure out how to run it in daemon mode. It starts, but the created virtual device from xboxdrv doesn't receive any input (I tested it with games and evtest). Here is how I run it:

xboxdrv --config ~/.config/xboxdrv/gamesir.conf --daemon --match vendor=3537,product=0101

I took vendor=3537,product=0101 from usb-devices:

Configured it with udev rules:

cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-gamesir.rules
ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="3537", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0101", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl --no-block start gamesir"
ACTION=="remove", ATTRS{idVendor}=="3537", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0101", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl --no-block stop gamesir"

Where gamesir.service looks like this:

[Unit]
Description=Gamesir controller driver daemon
Documentation=man:xboxdrv(1)

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/xboxdrv --evdev /dev/input/by-path/platform-xhci-hcd.2.auto-usb-0:1:1.0-event-joystick --config /etc/xboxdrv/gamesir.xboxdrv

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Looks like --daemon mode works only for xbox gamepads.
