Re: About the PS3 Sixaxis linux driver

[Marc <case@corpsmoderne.net>]

Thanks a lot Benjamin (and everyone) to handle this.

Just to let you know, I've updated from 3.5 to 3.11
(basically, from stock ubuntu-12.04 to stock ubuntu-13.10)
and the bug is still there.

I'll try that as soon as possible, but as you noted, it's not a viable
solution for the long term...

I forgot to say I've only tested through tethered USB. I'm not even
sure to have a functioning BT host :) but thanks for the proposal.

The kernel I'm currently running (ubuntu-saucy) includes this patch.
Also, I'm not very good at this, but I've made a diff of the last
version of hid-sony.c and the version currently in ubuntu-saucy (3.11) :
the changes are minimal and can't have fixed the bug (see bellow).

$ diff hid-sony.c ~/ubuntu-saucy/drivers/hid/hid-sony.c
