I've just installed version 6.2 and for love nor money can I get the sixaxis controller working...
Being new to linux, I followed this guide http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/2/23/813212/yellowdoglinux.txt and found it quite useful.
I updated the repo's to the one's on this site rather than that guide.
The problem lies with connecting my Sixaxis though.
when i type yum install bluez-libs it says "Finished" - but doesn't bring up the prompt. I waited about 20 mins last night thinking that the prompt should
come up when it has completed the install, as it does with everything else i've installed.
I've tried the add/remove GUI as well but it just hangs when I try to install it...
According to the guide (and this one http://pleasantfiction.ipower.com/bodega/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=16 I have to stop the hidd service, then
type hidd --server --nocheck -n and press the PS button on the controller.
It should come up with new hid device but it doesn't.
Anyone see where I'm going wrong please, it's driving me crazy!
(Also, another a quick noobie question, everywhere I read says that when I type "su -l" I have to enter my root password, but it never prompts me too, is
this cos I only have 1 user on it?)
EDIT: I have another controller which is an unofficial one, it's wireless and you have to plug a dongle into the USB port, will this one be any easier to set up than
the official sony controller?
Thanks in advance for any help!
