USB Device resetting and doesn't come back on quit

[BonzoG]

Hello! DeckPad works great for me but I am having one small issue and wonder if anyone else has any ideas?

I think this might be similar to closed Issue #9, so apologies for re-opening. It's happening on my deck as well. Feels like it might be a VirtualHere bug but I'm not sure.

Before launching DeckPad, steam controller is visible in various places:

I am able to see the touchpad data streams if I do something similar to: sudo cat /dev/input/by-id/usb-Valve_Software_Steam_Deck_Controller_MEDA21501215-if01-mouse Then I launch DeckPad and all the entries disappear when VirtualHere takes over the capture. The device works great remotely.

Quit DeckPad, and the entries momentarily re-appear, but immediately disappear again.

I'm not sure if VirtualHere puts logs anywhere but will keep looking. Otherwise DeckPad works great and normal function is restored after a reboot. I did have the issue where the touchscreen input isn't registered, but that was solved by adding the default action set per Issue #1 .
