Comment 10 for bug 124743

I have successfully configured my DualShock 3 controller to work with Intrepid Ibex over both USB and Bluetooth. I simply made sure bluez-utils was not installed on my system, then followed the tutorial at: http://psubuntu.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37

However, you must refer to a later post that has someone who has reposted a live link to a .deb package for a patched bluez-utils version 3.19

Install that and you should be all set. Following the tutorial works like a charm.
