Sony DS4 Controller Left Axis controlling mouse and duplicate inputs #42

Open RyanFDev opened 7 years ago

RyanFDev commented 7 years ago

When I use the left analog stick it controls the mouse. It also sends the correct gamepad inputs but moving the mouse is annoying and not sure if intended.

I am also receiving duplicate inputs as if my original controller is not being locked properly.

Running Mint 18.2 with kernel 4.13.4

I have the proper sony generic config for the new kernel gamepad updates so that doesn't appear to be the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'd be glad to help, but I'll need some more info.

Mouse inputs: Are the gamepads ending up in your xinput list? Despite often being annoying, many systems are set up to map joysticks onto mouse movements. See this wiki page for info on disabling joystick mouse control.

If you have a xf86-input-joystick package installed, you likely don't need it.

If you use evtest and see mouse events generated on MG's virtual mouse device, then this is a MG bug. Otherwise, this is out of MG's control.

Gamepad locking:

Can you use evtest as both your user as root? If the locking is working, you should only see the DS4 when running this as root. If you see the DS4 when not root, then the locking is not working.

If the locking is not working, please tell me which setup of MG you are using ( single user or system user) as well as ls -l /dev/input/eventXX where XX is the DS4 node seen by evtest.

Finally, I think I recall Steam's specialty DS4 support grabs the device at a lower level than MG is currently blocking. I should do some more testing on that.

i have a dualshock 3, it works great in manjaro simulating a xbox 360 controller, but the new kernel 4.13 has changes in the driver, so now its showing two devices (one for the tradicional pad and the other only for the motion sensors), so it stopped working... aaaaaa

maybe its the case, try booting with a older kernel! i have a 4.11 and 4.9, both works fine!

I don't have any DS3s, so I can't personally test how the new sony kernel module changes affect them. I hoped sony-standard.cfg would capture any needed changes.

I guess it might be time to be much more aggressive in hiding related devices in order to hide the motion sensors as well. However, it might be nice to not hide the DS4 touchpad...
