MSI-Claw gamepad driver

[zezba9000]

A gamepad driver I helped some with was pushed into the latest kernel.
Both Bazzite and ChimeraOS will support this driver and settings for it to work.
So the question is will CachyOS?

ATM, CachyOS is the only distro that seems to have a work around to get around the black screen (possible gamescope issue) for sign in page showing using fallback, then rebooting into non-fallback mode after setup. So CachyOS might be the most well suited distro for MSI-Claw atm.

EDIT: Black screen issue is from bad docks and maybe Gamescope gets confused.

I would assume so. Thats the correct idVendor=0db0 & idProduct=1901 for the MSI-Claw gamepad.
I just did initial work on HID testing. Didn't do kernel driver patch.

FYI, ChimeraOS devs know more about whats needed for the special menu buttons. IDK if thats in this patch but I would assume so.

Here is more info on the driver stuff.

For some reason in my installer, system menu buttons do not work even though its using config stuff from ChimeraOS.

Thanks, I have added this to my todo list.
Since I do not want to integrate this directly into the kernel I will create a hardware detection profile for the msi claw. This will provide a more clean solution instead of installing it system wide.

I expect working on this after christmas.

So FYI, I figured while we're at it, you might want to fix the WiFi driving not working after sleep.
Hopefully the actual driver handles this later but for now this fixes the issue.
