Hello there, I'm attempting to use a Sony Dualshock 4 game controller with bluez, but have run into some problems. I'm running Linux kernel 3.12.4 on Arch Linux with bluez 5.12. The DS4 is a standard bluetooth device, unlike the DS3 and I was able to pair and use it without any problems in Windows 7, but in Linux I have not been able to get it working correctly. The controller can be started in two modes, a pairing mode by pressing the buttons Share and PS at the same time and a normal mode by pressing the PS button only. The pairing appears to work correctly but once it connects I get these errors and then the connection is dropped: Dec 20 16:08:01 locutus bluetoothd[17163]: Refusing input device connect: No such file or directory (2) Dec 20 16:08:01 locutus bluetoothd[17163]: Refusing connection from A4:15:66:73:03:F3: unknown device Dec 20 16:08:01 locutus bluetoothd[17163]: A4:15:66:73:03:F3: error updating
