Unable to fall back to steam driver

[appletalk]

Hello, I hope this is appropriate place to ask. After testing out this driver (which works great), I am unable to fall back to simply using steam without this driver activated. Is there a process to uninstall it, or revert?

Thanks,

Hello,

You have to stop it (sc-xbox.py stop) and launch steam.

Hi ynsta Your solution doesn't work - after stopping sc-xbox.py (sc-xbox.py stop) steam doesn't switch controller back. In logs (of steam app) i can see: Unable to open local device: 0003:0002:01 Unable to open local device: 0003:0002:02 Unable to open local device: 0003:0002:03 Unable to open local device: 0003:0002:04 I think it is related with this strange behavior.

I notice that physical detaching and attaching again 'Steam Controller' receiver is solution for this issue. I've even tried to use http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=121459435621262&q=p3 to reset usb device (receiver) but no luck - only physical action does the job.

Hi another tip :), i'm not python developer but i think this code is never invoked: sc-xbox.py

class SCDaemon(Daemon):
    def run(self):
        evm = evminit()
        sc = SteamController(callback=evm.process)
        sc.run()
        del sc <--- THIS
        del evm <--- THIS
        gc.collect() <--- AND THIS ;)

I've tried to change it like so:

class SCDaemon(Daemon):
    def run(self):
        evm = evminit()
        syslog.syslog(syslog.LOG_INFO, 'GOT SC')
        sc = SteamController(callback=evm.process)
        sc.run()
        syslog.syslog(syslog.LOG_INFO, 'EXITING')
        del sc
        del evm
        gc.collect()

and i can see GOT SC in journal but EXITING is never printed.

Struggling with issue too, but using steam link for raspberry pi. Basically, i've got retropie with emulation station frontend that installed this driver and added it rc.local. Now whenever i launch steam link from emulation station - it recognizes the controller as xbox 360. i've tried to run sc-xbox.py stop before launching steam link, no result. then i tried to unplug steam controller wireless dongle - and it helped, but obviously this is not the best solution.

@ghost, i've tried to modify SCDaemon class so evm and sc would be object variables and delete them in overridden stop function - that did not help either. Looks like when stop is being called on the script itself - all daemons exit clearly, but something gots messed up with udevd
