Linux: Gamesir-T1s and Logitech G29 Wheel are not detected about sdl HOT 6 CLOSED

This is probably related with: #10281 I use the class he provide to test what going own. And that is the result with both devices connected:

./test
Initializing SDL...
SDL initialized.
1 joysticks were found.

The names of the joysticks are:
Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel

IsGameController: 0
Failed to open GameController 0
Quitting SDL...

So yes, is not Cemu, there are problems to detect the Gamesir-T1s and the Logitech G29 Wheel is not detected as a Game controller. Maybe all this was solved in a new version of the library, but I still don't know how to test the new version without ending up messing up my system.

That's correct, wheels are not game controllers. The applications should be opening them as joysticks.

At least that's true for the wheel. I'm not sure why the T1s isn't showing up.

Cemu not detect it as anything. Are there a way to configured the library to see the wheels as a game controllers? I see that: 189f71e, but the problem with this argument is that not all in Linux is steam. What about other applications that are not steam and have a poor support for games controllers and who could benefit from something like that?

Yes, well T1s is not in the libsdl official database, but it should be detected and let you to configured it. It's detected by SDL2 Gamepad Tool of General Arcade as 05004477ac0500002d0200001b010000 and they have a map available for it, but if libsdl can not see it, Cemu also can not.

I was also going to propose to use a pointer to a file in SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG instead of directly the settings, because seems that if you exceed a certain amount of device settings, the results are problematic: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/9cf6ip/comment/jjc2tbg/, but apparently this is included in sdl3 as can read in:

I will close this, because i suspect the problem with the Gamesir-T1s will be resolved using a new version of the library and the reality is that i don't care about if this device work or not. I care much more about the G29 and i know there are efforts to add better support for this type of devices.
