Hi, earlier I was able to use the Dualshock controller on Ubuntu fully functionally, but since last upgrade right joystick moves ‘an invisible cursor’ only inside Steam.
Is anybody using the PS4 controller fully functionally in any Linux distro?

I use a DualShock 4 on Arch with Hyprland.
By default for libinput, the controller touchpad always controls the mouse cursor. So I needed to disable that.
In my desktop configuration, my mouse cursor hides itself after 5 seconds of inactivity. I’ve found that Steam Input doesn’t register as mouse movement, despite successfully moving the cursor, so the cursor remains invisible. I have a (Hyprland specific) command I run to disable that config option temporarily, so that way I can use Steam Input to control the mouse cursor.
The right joystick mapping to it sounds like Steam Input’s default “Desktop Configuration”. I’d check that to see. I personally have the desktop configuration pretty much empty, but I have the touchpad set to control my mouse cursor under “Guide Button Chord Configuration”, so if I hold the PS Logo I can move my cursor with that.
