Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2448

Distro: Arch Linux
Kernel version: 4.20.11-arch2-1-ARCH
Firejail version: 0.9.58.2-1

Description: When starting steam with the included profile my gamepad (Sony Dualshock 3 connected with a usb cable) is not detected by steam.

Escaping the sandbox with:
firejail --noprofile steam-runtime
solves the problem but it's not ideal since it leaves open an attack surface.

Relates to:

#779
#6523

@DevPre24 Can you make sure that you're using the steam profile by firejail --profile=/etc/firejail/steam.profile steam-runtime?

If it still fails, please try each of the following:
firejail --ignore=protocol --profile=/etc/firejail/steam.profile steam-runtime

firejail --ignore=private-dev --profile=/etc/firejail/steam.profile steam-runtime

Same result so i'm guessing the correct steam profile is loaded.

If it still fails, please try each of the following:
firejail --ignore=protocol --profile=/etc/firejail/steam.profile steam-runtime

Same result.

firejail --ignore=private-dev --profile=/etc/firejail/steam.profile steam-runtime

Ignoring "private-dev", the gamepad (wired dualshock 3) is correctly detected and works as expected. Thanks!
