Anyone got sixaxis working in Arch ?

Hello,

I currently own a sixaxis controller. When I had ubuntu there was this tool called sixaxis-gui that let you connect the sixaxis to the computer. There is no such tool for Arch. However, I know that you can downgrade bluez-utils and bluez-libs to patch and get sixaxis support. However, these two packages have been merged into one called bluez. Because of that, it's not possible to downgrade anymore, using PKGBUILD found on this forum for older version of bluez-utils and libs, I get a message telling me that the downgrade conflits with bluez. Also, it's not possible to remove bluez, since nautilus and other important apps depend on it. Finaly, has anyone got sixaxis support in Arch ?

Thanks

As for dependency problem: you can get around the problem of packages depending on bluez by making one of the packages you're about to install (the downgraded an patched) provide bluez. Other than that I can't help you.
