Description Aaron Paden 2016-10-02 04:34:17 UTC

I'm getting the following error in the logs. It said it's a libinput bug so I figured I should report it, but it doesn't appear to actually prevent me from using my gamepad, at least on xwayland games.

hmm, that one shouldn't even be added by libinput. please attach the output from sudo evemu-record against that device so I can reproduce it here, thanks.
