rumble not working on linux with xbox one controller

[belegdol]

Despite log showing:
Core: Game controller 0 (Standard controller) has a Rumble pak plugged in
and later
Input: Rumble activated on N64 joystick #1
rumble is not working with xbox one controller under linux. Verbose logging shows that the gamepad should vibrate when shooting a gun in goldeneye for example, but nothing happens. Nothing happens when rumblepak switch is pressed either. The only event generating vibrations is mempack switch.
