Controllers connect but no input is received.

[Martin Hovmöller]

I have two PS3 controllers, one Sixaxis and one Dual Shock 3, connected to my Debian wheezy box running sixad.
Sometimes everything works perfectly, but probably 80% of the times I try to connect one of the controllers, or both, the controller connects but no input is received from it.
Running jstest /dev/input/js0 or js1 just gives me a lot of empty values that stay still when I press buttons on the controller.

I'm running sixad version 1.5.1.

The same on my Linux Mint 17 amd64(linux-image-generic version 3.13.0-24.46,but the problem present itself also with version 3.13.0-24.47),with dualshock 3 connected via USB.

Here the output of jstest /dev/input/js0

Driver version is 2.1.0.
