I am playing unmodified X4 4.10 Beta 6, English language from Steam, Terran Cadet start
Manjaro Linux
HOTAS is Virpil throttle and joystick
My Hotas is recognized by the OS and Steam. X4 Controls>Manage Controller/Joystick says they are recognized.
When I try to bind analog inputs under General they don't register any input. Digital inputs are registered and set the control. I was able to bind analog inputs on this game last week.

Re: Hotas not working linux
Yep...HOTAS has been screwed up on Linux. I've tried to be the squeaky wheel and gotten nowhere with the devs. It's just borked...and I have to live with it.amenditman wrote: ↑Mon, 23. Aug 21, 07:12I am playing unmodified X4 4.10 Beta 6, English language from Steam, Terran Cadet start

I sort of have a work around. I installed qjoypad and turned HOTAS inputs into keyboard inputs. That seems to work well enough for me. I turned my HAT into arrow keys and then bound them into what I wanted in the general settings. I have complained whenever there is a new version that comes out. Hoping that it'll gain traction. But they just ignore it.
Here's just one of my threads... viewtopic.php?f=180&t=434754&p=5021726#p5021726

I've been using a Thrustmaster T16000 Hotas setup for over a year with X4 and not have any issues. All the buttons/inputs can be mapped in the game.
I do set it inside X4 and don't bother with Steams mismanagement of joystick controls
Re: Hotas not working linux
Linux works fine for me with a Sublight Dynamics 3D joystick. I am running from GOG though.
