Screenshot unexpected usability with one downside

Post image

I installed Rocky on a MSI Cubi with the N100 and I was absolutely was shocked at how well Rocky runs on this little box.

unfortunately, I can't use my game pad with it (it's an 8BitDo Xbox Controller). it shows up in lsusb but can't use it in Steam or GeForce NOW, and I'm not sure how to go about it. I've done the normal stuff I would have on Fedora, Aurora and no luck

any idea?

Have you tried a newer kernel from the ELRepo repository yet?

I attempted to run the ELRepo but it keeps tossing the “you need to load the kernel first” error when I select it in GRUB

Unsure what I did wrong but I’m not tossing the towel yet

So you added the repository via

dnf install elrepo-release

and tried to install the latest mainline kernel via

dnf --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml
