Xbox One Series X|S Controller bluetooth Connection Loop or Disconnects when controller exits pair mode (timeout)
Using bluetoothctl the Xbox one X controller either enters a connect/disconnect loop or connects and even shows in jstest but disconnects when the controller leaves pairing move from a timeout. When the second of those two happens it vibrates when it says it is cconnected but the light does not stop fast blinking until it times out and disconnects. In jstest the controller shows on /dev/input/js0 but does not actually send any button presses. The controller works on android and is the most recent version, updated on Win 10.
I have already set disable_ertm to Y and have ControllerMode set to dual and tried with Privacy set to device in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf.
The output of btmgmt info showing that I have le and br/edr set:
