Description

Describe the bug The gamepad will suddenly stop working and the terminal will spam the following: 00a4:err:hid:process_monitor_event Failed to get device that has changed

To Reproduce Play a game in Wine with the DualSense controller. The gamepad will work for about a minute and then stop working.

Expected behavior I expect it to keep working.

Desktop (please complete the following information): -Fedora 40 host -Debian 12 box -Distrobox installed with "dnf install distrobox"

Additional context No issue with the gamepad when running directly on the host, but I need Distrobox due to Fedora's codec situation.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Wine error 'Failed to get device that has changed' in the context of Distrobox. Check how Distrobox handles USB device pass through, specifically for DualSense gamepads. Look into udev rules and device permissions inside the container. Also examine Wine's HID device monitoring code.
