Comment 7 for bug 124743

According to the sixaxis bluetooth page (http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html), yes, the accelerometer data is not yet supported. Also not supported yet are battery status, LEDs, remote wake-up, and bluetooth encryption. The accelerometer is not supported in USB either. In USB mode, most of the buttons so show up with analog support through the different axes. However, they also have digital button signals.

I probably would suggest trying snes9x instead of zsnes. I've not had any luck getting the ps3 controller to work with zsnes or fceu, however, the analog sticks and all of the buttons, except for select, do seem to work in snes9x. Select appears to be the 17th digital button on the controller, and joydev seems to be limited to 16 digital buttons. I've mapped the PS button to select instead on my machine.

That said, I haven't gotten the device to work over bluetooth on my feisty install. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's just not working because of the kernel, or if the device itself is having a problem. I can get it to pair just fine, but the button press data fails to get sent over bluetooth to my machine.
