Re: shoulder buttons as axis on PS3 controller

I think that SDL normalizes the values so all analog axis coming out from PyGame (that uses SDL) are in the range +1 to -1. Ah ok. I should have the weekend free to investigate.

Re: shoulder buttons as axis on PS3 controller

First the axis for the L2/R2 buttons are in the range +1 to -1.

I think it has something to do with the way vmware/virtuallbox virtualizes the USB bus, or how that interacts with the host drivers. I booted into a linux instance directly (...

shoulder buttons as axis on PS3 controller

I'm using the latest pc client from the mercurial tip, xf86-input-joystick v1.6.2, latest firmware and kernel 3.7.10. Everything else seems to...
