Xbox Controller via Wireless Dongle Unresponsive after Wake from Suspend
I noticed this question had been resolved after an xone driver update was rolled into Bazzite, but the issue is still prevalent. If we can’t get a fix on the driver side, the next best thing may be to introduce usbreset the Bazzite from the usbutils package to attempt a workaround?
On my machine I run into one of two issues after wake from suspend (via controller):
1. Controller paired but unresponsive
2. Controller not paired (xbox button flashing)

USB Wake from Suspend — Driver or Device Responsibility?
I’ve tried with two devices to achieve wake from suspend from a wireless controller and getting differing results — mirroring the community census.
Xbox Wireless Adapter + Xbox Elite: Connects via xone driver as a vendor specific device, lsusb shows the device as active even when controller is powered off. Wake file IS available in the usb device directory. Controller doesn’t seem to connect to the dongle when in suspend state nor does it wake. Q #1: I’m assuming this is a hardware limitation, e.g. the dongle does not allow pairing in suspend state? 8bitdo Wireless Adapter + Xbox Elite: Connects via xpad driver in xinput mode, lsusb only shows device when controller powered on. Wake file (among others) not available in the usb device directory. Controller does pair with the dongle in suspend but does not wake. I’ve heard people have got some level of success with dinput. Q #2: This looks more like a driver issue, is it the driver that’s responsible for enabling wake functionality, I.e. wake file available, and if so is this then a limitation of the xpad driver (and by extension xinput)? Also note that the USB controller device’s wake file is set to disabled. I haven’t tried flipping this yet because my 2.4g wireless mouse and keyboard DO wake from suspend and they’re plugged into the same controller, though I’m aware of people having success by trying this.
