Hi Marc, (adding in CC the linux-input mailing list) Regarding your problem I vaguely remember something about not having duplicated axis with the buttons. My memory is rather confuse about this, so I may be wrong (but others on the list may have a fresher memory). Other than that, if only one axis is not working, then it is definitively a bug... I'll try to add this to my todo list, but I can not guarantee anything soon. If someone else can confirm and fix this, I'll be happy.

If you feel like I'm mailing the wrong person, I apologize, and would be glad if you could point me to the right person. I'm a game developer experimenting with the sixaxis for a while, and I've a big issue with the current state of the driver: On the sixaxis all the buttons (except select and start) are mapped as buttons but also as axis, which is pretty rad. That was working great in 2010 when I started to experiment with the sixaxis but in more recent versions of the kernel, one the the buttons has lost his axis. It's the left button the the D-PAD, witch is only mapped as button 7 (up is button 4 and axis 8, right is button 5 axis 9, bottom is button 6 axis 10). This is quite inconsistent and makes impossible to rely on the axis for all the D-PAD buttons. Again, this bug wasn't there in 2.6.32 . I noticed it for the first time in 3.5.x . I'm currently running 3.11.0 and this bug is still here. As my experience with kernel hacking is minimal I'm not even sure the problem lies in hid-sony, but that's where my investigations lead me. Thank you to have taken the time to read my mail, I hope it will help to fix this issue, and again, sorry if you're not the right person to write to.
