After the release of Rocket League beta for Linux, I decided to install Steam under Fedora 24 and try it out.

The Xbox controller driver is not installed by default. Get it via

sudo dnf install kernel-modules-extra

Apparently the SteamOS variant of the xpad driver has some additions the normal kernel driver does not (yet) have.

To install it:

Uninstall kernel-modules-extra (if installed; the upstream driver conflicts with the SteamOS version): sudo dnf -y remove kernel-modules-extra Enable negativo17’s Steam repo: sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=http://negativo17.org/repos/fedora-steam.repo Install the dkms-xpad driver: sudo dnf -y install dkms-xpad kernel-devel Build the kernel module: sudo dkms install -m xpad/4.1

Not sure if I did a sudo modprobe xpad afterwards but now it works. Have fun.
