Description
**Game information**
All games
**Distribution name and version where applicable**
Fedora Silverblue 41
**Flatpak info**
Flatpak 1.16.0
**Problem description**
Steam Flatpak is no longer inhibiting the screensaver when using a gamepad. I'm using an Xbox Wireless Controller connected through Bluetooth. Previously, this was no issue, but the current version of Steam is not inhibiting the screensaver.
I also tested connecting my controller via the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter and had the same issue.
As a final test, I shut down Steam and played Super Tux Kart via flatpak. Screensaver was inhibited the entire 30 minute session. So the issue must be Steam related.
One last test, I tried playing Steam flatpak games with different Xbox Wireless Controllers via Bluetooth on three different systems (still Fedora Silverblue 41). Same issue.
**Does this issue reproduce with native Steam**
I have not tested this as I only use the flatpak version of Steam.
