Comment 5 for bug 1800839

Kai-Heng Feng, I replied to you several months ago via email but for completeness I want to leave a reply here too.
Yes, when the new sony_hid first came out there were two devices an analog sticks/triggers and buttons device and a second accelerometer/gyro device. Splitting into two joysticks simply required remapping in the applications I was using. Later (around last april-june)the gyro/accelerometer device is detected but is not registered as a joystick device.
this answer which I asked when I first reported this bug is at Ask Ubuntu, maybe it might help, I didn't get it to work and after loosing use of a second computer I prefer to leave hand repairs out of my everyday machine.
