PS4 controller with Bluetooth: Only the touch pad sends events?

PS4 controller with Bluetooth: Only the touch pad sends events?

[Manuel Reimer]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to get my PS4 controller to work via Bluetooth.

My kernel is:
$ uname -a
Linux manuelspc 4.3.3-3-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 20 08:12:23 CET 2016 
x86_64 GNU/Linux

If I run "evtest" on the event device, created by the controller, then I 
only get events if the touch pad is touched. Even pressing the touch pad 
doesn't create a event and all other buttons and sticks don't send 
events either.

What's the reason for this? If I connect via USB, I don't have any 
issues and all buttons and axis work well...

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Manuel

Hello,

just a short follow up.

I've tested the controller directly on the PS3 console (don't own a PS4 
yet) and it works well there, which confirms that the controller is OK.

Then I searched around a bit and found:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107081

Did this patch ever land here on the mailing list?

If not, I'll take over, have a look at reformatting the patch, test it 
with my PC and my PS4 controller and then send it to the list.

Thanks in advance

Manuel
