So it turns out that the drivers for the Sony SIXAXIS controller are
now included in the Linux kernel. So if you have kernel version
2.6.24, then you can just plug it in, and it'll be fully recognized.
And even better, [hid] gets all of the data from it, except for the
accelerometer. So I wrote [sixaxis], which is meant to be used in
conjunction with [hid], to get the accelerometer data.
This controller is unusual because all of its buttons are also
pressure sensitive. That means for each button, you also get an
analog report between 0 255. You can get this first version in SVN
or here, built for i386:
