Is it possible that the DragonRise driver has not be enabled in the kernel?

#2

plug of the DragonRise, open an terminal and as root:

journalctl -f

Now put in the DragonRise and post all new from the terminal here in Code-Tags.

PS:
Kernel module is there:

And does it work?

#5

No change that I can see. Still not showing up in game controllers

#6

Can you use it in systemsettings5------Hardware----Input Devices-----Game Controller

#7

I’m afraid not

  No joystick device automatically found on this computer.
Checks were done in /dev/js[0-4] and /dev/input/js[0-4]
If you know that there is one attached, please enter the correct device file.
#8

For whatever reason, switching from Gecko to standard OpenSuSE 15.3 seems to have solved the problem
