Description Mikhail 2020-06-28 07:07:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
libwacom-1.4-1.fc33 breaks Fedora gaming functionality (stop working gamepads and in some games even mouse)

Last good working version libwacom-1.3-1.fc33


With libwacom-1.3-1.fc33 steam sees gamepads it easy can be checked without games launching, it enough to sure that on steam starting you see in terminal follow output:

Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1591251555)

With libwacom-1.4-1.fc33 this output is absent and in some triple A games like "DOOM Eternal" also not working mouse.


The workaround is only in downgrading libwacom to 1.3-1.fc33 version for it:
1) download it from koji:
$ koji download-build libwacom-1.3-1.fc33 --arch=noarch
$ koji download-build libwacom-1.3-1.fc33 --arch=x86_64
2) Downgrade libwacom with dnf functionality:
# dnf downgrade libwacom --refresh
3) And restart computer
4) Enjoy
Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2020-06-28 07:10:37 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker and Freeze Exception for 33-beta by Fedora user mikhail using the blocker tracking app because:

 Many users select Fedora for great gaming experience and I don't want that they are disappointed in the release of F33 and go to another distribution.
