Description

This is partly related to issue 282 -

https://github.com/HarbourMasters/Starship/issues/282

There's a problem in the build such that an html file ends up in the gamecontrollerdb.txt and therefore the SDL settings don't load. Thanks @LucasPicoli for the explanation.

Even with that fixed manually, there's no entry for my adapter though. Here's the line that needs to be added at the end for my adapter -

03006d4b790000004e95000010010000,ShanWan Hyperkin Adapter,a:b1,b:b2,start:b9,leftshoulder:b7,rightshoulder:b5,lefttrigger:b4,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a5,righty:a2,dpup:b12,dpdown:b14,dpleft:b15,dpright:b13,platform:Linux,

Happy to make the PR, not sure what the contribution process is or if someone else is already working on something like this.

Research direction

Find gamecontrollerdb.txt in the build and inspect how the SDL settings load on Linux. Add the provided ShanWan Hyperkin Adapter entry, then verify that the adapter is detected and the controller settings load without the HTML-file problem.
