[Bug 124743] Re: Sony Sixaxis Controller does not work over bluetooth

[James]

@dandart, I just tested the controller on Xubuntu 16.04 (technically
Mint 18 XFCE), and it works out-of-the-box with the default Bluetooth
stack.

The only thing is, you still have to use sixpair to "pair" the PS3
controller to that bluetooth adapter (PS3 controllers' pairing system is
not the actual standardized "bluetooth pairing" system).

BUT, once sixpair has been run, the PS3 controller shows up to the
system default vanilla Bluetooth stack as a Joystick device that works
in e.g., RetroArch.

Is it possible that your device does not support a new enough version of
Bluetooth?
