Hi falk-t-j. I'm aware you no longer support QtSixA, since now Linux have native support for PS3 & PS4 controllers. However, I have five reasons why I think you should resume the support:
1) Native support doesn't work properly yet: Even though it should work out of the box, it doesn't, or at least I haven't be able to do it. When I have "luck", I can connect one controller. When I don't (most of the time) I can't connect anything. In addition, it's happened years since Linux "included" native support. 2) QtSixA still work on newer distros: Using the repository for Ubuntu 15.04 (the last supported version of Ubuntu) I had been able to install and use QtSixA under Ubuntu 15.10/16.04 and Linux Mint 18. The only major issue I have found is when sixad runs at the boot, it doesn't work and I have to stop it and re-start it. So, with only enabling the repos for newer versions, it would be a great improvement. 3) I believe only small modifications are required: Since QtSixA still works, it would require small modifications IMO, to just fix the start at boot or to disable that feature. 4) The community still wants to use QtSixA: As you can see in ubuntuforums and in the following askubuntu questions, the community still tries to install and use QtSixA: http://askubuntu.com/questions/694686/ http://askubuntu.com/questions/409761/ 5) I could help you: If you want me to, I could give you a hand with the repository compilation, or even with the code -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471081 Title: [needs-packaging] QtSixA - The Sixaxis Joystick Manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qtsixa/+bug/471081/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
