Can't I'm having problems also on Nvidia Shield and it doesn't have terminal access.

Symptoms

In GTA Vice City for Steam Play in Linux or STEAM Play on Nvidia Shield I can't get a Dualshock 3 Playstation 3 Sixaxis controller to work properly or like it has traditionally worked outside of steam in the game. The camera constantly spins and I can't remap some keys in game. I've tryed different templets and different controller profiles but nothing seems to work. It's worth noting my controller works in other aspects of my Linux setup and on the Nvidia Shield like with other non steam games. So drivers are installed and functioning, but there seems to be an issue between the Steam layer and the Grand Theft Auto Vice City game.

I Reported it on Steam and was directed here to report it.
