--- Comment #3 from Robert Walker bob.mt.wya@gmail.com --- This means Wine won't support the new SDL2 extensions for gamepads... HID support also requires udev.
0024:warn:plugplay:sdl_driver_init compiled without SDL support 0024:warn:plugplay:udev_driver_init Wine was compiled without UDEV support
This is a compile time configuration issue. I see the official WineHQ packages, for Ubuntu, don't seem to have the necessary configuration options enabled:
--with-sdl --with-udev
and the corresponding development libraries... This seems a bizarre decision when Ubuntu is the basis of the native Steam runtime environment...??!!
This is OS/X only (so not relevant):
0024:warn:plugplay:iohid_driver_init IOHID Support not compiled into Wine.
