Linux 'Hotplugging' controller doesn't work in SteamOS.
#1
Basically what it says in the title. I Installed XBMC 13.1 via the new XBMC Beta Repo @ deb http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/steamos alchemist main and added the xbox 360 controller xml file to my /home/steam/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps folder and it works great at first.The controller auto-shuts down after a few minutes but when I turn it back on the only button that works is the middle xbox button to close out of the program via the SteamOS UI. If I exit out it works fine and I can relaunch XBMC with full control again. This tells me that SteamOS still detects it and it appears to be an issue with XBMC handling hotplug events.

This thread has a response from valve regarding this issue generically:
