It is possible to use the sixaxis as a joystick. But how?
For a year and a half I've been trying to get sixaxis working on ubuntu, and there appear to be even less options on debian.
While this page suggests there is kernel support, usbmon doesn't show any packages coming down the line at all (But lsusb does recognize the device)
So how do I get debian to recognize the sixaxis?

Sixaxis (PS3 controller) on debian as joystick
Re: Sixaxis (PS3 controller) on debian as joystick
There is a joystick calibration tool called joystick.
Will it work on a PS3 controller? No idea.....
Code: Select all
apt-get install joystick

Re: Sixaxis (PS3 controller) on debian as joystick
I tried that already, it said that my kernel was incompatible (I rebooted after installing the packages so I have no idea what's wrong there)
lsusb -v says that the "Report Descriptors" are unavailable. (Which means at least something is wrong)
Edit: Noticed something on boot today:
Installed "libusbhid-common" will see what happens.
Nope, no luck.

Re: Sixaxis (PS3 controller) on debian as joystick
Bump? Looks like it's either a kernel or libusb bug (No-one competent with drivers etc seems to have it so there's very little data about it on google)
