Steam on Linux xbox controller troubleshooting

If the gamepad is not detected or controller buttons are not working as expected in the game  try to use the following settings.

Right click on game name in the list, choose CONTROLLER tab, click Controller General Settings, mark "Xbox configuration support", click "Back". In the OVERRIDE FOR <game name> select "Use default settings". In the list below: Xbox Controller Enabled, default setting.

In the GENERAL tab make sure "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game" is enabled (click to trigger it off/on just to make sure it works).

Now games such as Blasphemous, Broforce will work with the gamepad as expected.
