Derek Clark, a developer at Valve, has created the hid-oxp driver for OneXPlayer handheld devices running Linux. This HID driver will enable native configuration of the device’s controls and buttons. Integration into kernel 7.2 is scheduled for June, following its inclusion in the HID subsystem branch.
Technical details of the hid-oxp driver 🔧
The driver focuses on direct communication with the OneXPlayer’s HID hardware, eliminating dependencies on external software. Clark has worked on implementing configuration profiles and button mapping, leveraging the architecture of the Linux HID subsystem. This facilitates integration with SteamOS and other distributions, offering an experience similar to official drivers. The final version is expected to be stable for the 7.2 cycle.
Valve solves the mystery of buttons in Linux 🎮
Finally, OneXPlayer users on Linux will stop juggling homemade scripts and magical configurations. Derek Clark, from Valve’s offices, has decided that enough is enough with people using duct tape to mark which button does what. Now, the kernel will lend them a hand, albeit virtually. The next step will be drivers that also brew coffee.
