 |
|
The SIXAXIS controller can be used on any Linux machine, not just the PS3. When connected via USB, it's basically a USB HID joystick with it has a few quirks that prevent it from working properly. An appropriate patch to fix it can be found on the Cell Linux source CD. The motion sensing doesn't work yet.
More info & patch: http://ps3.jim.sh/sixaxis/usb/ |

| I wish we could get the motion sensing to work, because I'm dying to find out how precise the values are we can detect! For the wii-mote, translational motion detection was rather coarse, and I'm expecting this to be the same for the sixaxis, but I"d like to know for sure ... |

is there any patches for earlier versions of linux, such as 2.6.15 with Ubuntu dapper? I've
always been hesitant to abandon the LTS release.
There is no hid-core.c file on my system so doing it manually looks a bit more complex than I want to tackle. |

Hmm... The old sixaxis (without rumble) are nowhere to be found, but according to http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html the new dual shock 3 are "reported not to work" over bluetooth. Can anyone confirm or dismiss this claim? I'd really hate investing in a wireless controller only to have it tethered to my system.
Thanks |

Sorry for the slow reply, I've been on holiday for a while...
The DualShock 3 works fine with Linux on the PS3 using Bluetooth. In fact, I even patched my sixaxis code to support the rumble within a few hours of receiving my controller as the rumble is controlled in the same packets as the LEDs.
ao2 is working on co-ordinating all the current sixaxis drivers into a state that can be moved into the kernel as a standard driver - see his post here... |
