Xbox controller/AMD Ryzen
by loftus49 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DGB8)
I'm using a HP Pavilion Game Laptop (15-ec0xxx) with 16GB RAM, 64 Bit, AMD Ryzen 5 35504 Processor with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx 2.10 GHz and two SSD drives. The first drive is 256GB and runs Windows. The second SSD drive is 1TB and is partitioned for MX Linux 19.3 and a data partition.
I tried Ubuntu (20.04 and 20.10) but the AMD Ryzen seemed to prevent it from working. I then tried MX Linux on a suggestion and it both works and is very fast. But when I try to use the xbox contoller (using Steam games) it is very slow in onscreen movements and then it freezes.
The xbox controller works fine on another laptop using Ubuntu (that does not use an AMD Ryzen processor) and on Windows.
Is there a Linux distribution that will both support the AMD Ryzen and the xbox controller? Or is there a fix in MX Linux for this?
