+dmitry,+linux-input Hi Mirh, Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately during the hid-sony driver cleanup we had to remove support for analog buttons for DualShock 3. We don't mind supporting them in some way, but the Linux kernel has no official way for reporting them. The old driver was actually quite incorrect and used 'illegal' axes, which applications couldn't rely on for these buttons e.g. some even used multitouch axes which are meant for touch. For various applications this actually caused issues except if they hardcoded the incorrect axis values. On a sidenote someone from the community recently submitted a ps1/ps2 controller driver, which had similar issues and only digital buttons could be supported to the Linux input framework. The only way I see to support 'analog buttons' is to somehow extend the Linux input framework, but this is not easy. Additional axes at least can't be added due to technical limitations of the ioctls.
