Linux recognizes the controller, but no games do #24

After installing this AUR package, I'm unable to get my controller to work.

Although lsusb recognizes a Nintendo Co., Ltd Switch Pro Controller, the player-1 indicator light pops on, and wine control joy.cpl works well, no games I've tested this with or the HTML5 GamePad API recognize it. For comparison, an Xbox 360 controller shows up and is usable in all of the above.

Is there something I'm missing, like a post-install command or similar? What seems strange to me is that /dev/input and elsewhere seem to contain all the right files...

all sdl games should support it.

Ah, thank you, I had that in the wrong spot.
