Bug#857789: xboxdrv grabs connected Stream Controller and prevents it from working

[David Smith]

Package: xboxdrv
Version: 0.8.5-1+b1
Severity: important

Had a fully functioning steam controller and all of a sudden one day it stopped
functioning as a mouse anymore on the desktop.  Took me a long time to track it
down to this package, where after I removed it and rebooted it, the Steam
controller started functioning as it is supposed to.   I installed this package
for use with my Wireless Logitech controllers and didn't realize that it would
grab onto my Steam Controllers.  I couldn't find any way to prevent this from
happening.
