Hi, I would like to ask if you have any experience with the PS5 controller with Steam on Linux. Steam crashes (segfault) everytime I connect the PS5 to my pc regardless bluetooth or usb :/

One particular setup with my pc is I am using the linux zen kernel on arch instead of the mainline kernel. Does anyone of you have similar setup with me and has the PS5 controller working ?

Thank you very much!

Edit: forgot to mention that I could use the PS5 dualsense as a mouse and use dualsensectl to control it so i guess it is more or less a Steam problem :/

Edit: Thank you everyone for your supports. I find out that for some reason I don’t have XTEST extensions enable which steam need to use. If I switch to another display manager with XTEST enabled, steam works again

      I’ve disabled everything and Steam still crashed. My wild guess is that my Steam client will crash when any controller is connected to the pc and not only the ps5 controller :/

      If i start Steam client with -nojoy everything works fine but i can not use the controller with Steam :(

        What did you tweaked to achieve that ? I only had crashs with joycons when I tried to use two of them as seperate controllers but still don’t know why.
