Enable controller input as dpms activity
I have found that most games prevent dpms by themselves but others don't. I wonder if there is a simple configuration to set a device input to count as activity in the system so the monitor doesn't enter standby or exits from it. I use xorg and no screensaver app other than the default.
If I use:
xset dpms force standbyI want that pressing any button or joystick wakes up the monitor.
I have found a SO answer but my controller doesn't appear in "xinput list" command. It's connected by bluetooth.
Any info about how xorg treats device activity could be helpfull too.

Re: Enable controller input as dpms activity
Some updates because the rabbit hole feels endless:
I have found that xinput list doesn't show the controller because it's discarded. Using ls -la /dev/input/by-id and then using cat with the device event makes viable the creation of a script that listens there and fake a keyboard press. This is too hacky for my taste though.
The responsibility is thrown directly to applications, which usually disable the power management of the display while they are running. Some wrappers like gamemode do this. As I already had gamemode in my system, it was a bit weird that I got to experience this but looking at my journal I found the following:

I don't have any screen saver application, just the base dpms of x11. I have always thought that all org.freedesktop.* thingies are interfaces so I'm not sure if I should install something.
This could also be a thing with how proton/steam works.

Re: Enable controller input as dpms activity
$ pacman -Q|grep xdg
python-pyxdg 0.28-4
xdg-dbus-proxy 0.1.6-1
xdg-desktop-portal 1.18.4-2
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 47.2-1
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk 1.15.2-1
xdg-user-dirs 0.18-2
xdg-user-dirs-gtk 0.14-1
xdg-utils 1.2.1-1I have explicitly installed both xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk in case some initial config was missing but didn't work.
Also I have tried to overwrite the default config and tried to use gnome instead of gtk just in case one of them was having problems with the implementation:
cat .config/xdg-desktop-portal/portals.conf
[preferred]
default=gtk
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Inhibit=gnome
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.ScreenSaver=gnomeBut it didn't work. The message of the backend call failing keeps appearing. I have tried to debug this with d-spy but I couldn't manage to simulate a call.
I don't know if its relevant but systemctl output is the following (ignore mdmonitor fail, its an issue for another day 
):

Re: Enable controller input as dpms activity
The problem is still happening. Just a quick update relating this attempt to fix it with the installation and configuration of xdg-portal:
Also I have tried to overwrite the default config and tried to use gnome instead of gtk just in case one of them was having problems with the implementation:
cat .config/xdg-desktop-portal/portals.conf
[preferred]
default=gtk
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Inhibit=gnome
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.ScreenSaver=gnome
Recently happened a bug related to how xdp reads portals configuration so by trying that I just made the problem worse. Firefox stopped inhibiting dpms while playing videos (and probably other apps that I'm not aware of too). Having those interfaces pointing to none fixed it.
Currently the only workaround for the original problem I found is simply calling xset s off -dpms; before any game or program I would use a controller in. Not a proper solution yet.
