There are plenty of software and howtos to use the PS3 sixaxis controller with bluetooth, but I don't have bluetooth on my desktop.
Dmesg shows that the controller is registering:
[100186.397697] usb 7-5: new full-speed USB device number 4 using ohci_hcd
[100186.659669] sony 0003:054C:0268.0007: Fixing up Sony Sixaxis report descriptor

usb_common 954 1 usbcore
$ lsmod | grep -i joydev
joydev 9695 0 When I cat /dev/input/js0, I don't get the cascade of chaotic characters I expect when I hit the buttons and move the axes. Instead, I get just two of those strange characters you get when you cat a binary file, and they do not change when I play with the controller. I installed jstest and jstest-gtk, and messed around with them. jstest-gtk knows that I have a sixaxis controller plugged in, but I see no evidence that it is receiving input from the controller when I mess around with it, including when I use the "calibrate" feature; all that happens is that once I complete the "wizard", all values go to 0. The reason I am doing this is of course steam, and Steam Big Picture does not respond to the controller either. jscal -c /dev/input/js0 shows no evidence of receiving input from the controller. Is there some kernel module that I'm missing? Googling sixaxis kernel module doesn't reveal anything to me.
Thanks in advance.

I think I solved it by hitting the "PS" button.
