DualShock Joystick not found

[zubaran]

Hello,

I have just installed YDL Linux 6.2, and all works fine but i have a problem with my PS3 joystick. They aren't recognized by Linux.

I have tried this following guide :

Code: Select all

To get the Sixaxis or Dualshock 3 working over bluetooth on YDL 6.x:

   1. Open a terminal window.
   2. Change to user root by typing:

          su - [ENTER]

   3. Enter your root password.
   4. Install bluez-libs and bluez-utils by typing:

          yum install bluez-libs bluez-utils [ENTER]

      NOTE: If it says "Nothing to do" here then bluez-libs is already installed.
   5. Enter the following commands.

          service hidd stop [ENTER]
          hidd --server --nocheck -n [ENTER]

   6. The command prompt will look similar to the following:

          hidd[8284]: Bluetooth HID daemon

   7. Now press the PS button on your Sixaxis / Dualshock 3 -- you can pair up to two controllers. Expected result should look similar to this:

          hidd[8284]: Bluetooth HID daemon
          hidd[8284]: New HID device 00:16:FE:C9:79:A8 (Sony Computer Entertainment Wireless Controller)

   8. Hit Ctrl-C to exit.
   9. Enter the following command:

          service hidd start [ENTER]

You only have to do this procedure once. From now on after each reboot you should be able to use your controller(s) over bluetooth by just turning them on with the PS button.


But at the point 7. when i press the PS button nothing appens.

Maybe i do something wrong ? Can you help me please ?

Thank you

Update your system first -- the kernel included in the 6.2 release didn't have support for the PS3's USB Bluetooth host controller enabled. So run yum update and reboot, then the procedure should work normally.

Hello,

Thanks for your help, i've done the update and now when i press the PS button the joystick is ON.

But i got a problem again, when i try to test the joystick

Code: Select all

To test that the joystick is working:

   1. First see what joysticks you have in the /dev/input directory:

          ls /dev/input

   2. Type the following command, replacing js0 with name of the joystick you want to check:

          cat /dev/input/js0

      If the joystick is working you should see "gibberish" on the screen when you move the sticks or press the buttons.
   3. Press Ctrl-C to exit.


I have no name of joystick to check, i got "|Event0,Event1,Event2,Event4,mice,mouse|"

I'v tried all Event but i can't see the "gibbersih" on the screen. And when i want to configure controls on games or emulators nothing appens when i press buttons of the PS3 Joystick.

Ok... sorry, after rebooting "js0" show on the screen configuration.

But how use this joystick ? I've tried with games like "megamario, rick dangerous" only keyboard is activated. I have also trying with emulator, "e-uae,nds,fceultra", when i going to controls configuration and pressing PS3 button nothing appens.

Hey guys,

I am running YDL 6.2. As per the instructions in this thread, I did the yum update, rebooted, and then followed the instructions to get the controller paired.

When I run the daemon and press the PS button, the controller flashes and nothing happens onscreen. It's as if it is not getting the data at all. Anyone know what could cause that? What's the original thread that has the steps listed above? Perhaps I missed some other step I'm supposed to do.
