I'm trying to use an Xbox One game controller to play the GOG version of Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005). I am launching the game from lutris, using wine (version lutris-6.0-x86_g4). The game is installed in my virtual C:/ drive within wine. The controller works on a windows computer.

lsbus output shows the controller correctly (ID 0e6f:02bd). The controller is picked up by antimicrox, and also in jstest-gtk. xboxdrv shows no info when scanning in debug mode, but when run as a Daemon in debug mode shows that it detects that the controller was put into the USB port but dismisses it as "not a valid device".
