I have a ps3 controller but I have the following problem:
- if I connect by USB it works but the controller never stop to vibrate
- I cannot manage to connect it via Bluetooth
$ dmesg
[ 3535.328372] input: SHANWAN PS3 GamePad as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/0003:054C:0268.0001/input/input16 [ 3535.329083] sony 0003:054C:0268.0001: input,hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [SHANWAN PS3 GamePad] on usb-0000:00:14.0-1/input0 - How can I properly setup SHANWAN controller on Linux ?
- Or Where I should I submit a bug report
SHANWAN are not original controller but:
- they works fine on Windows
- they are most of not original controller are SHANWAN

Just figured out how to fix vibration on Ubuntu for Shanwan controllers attached to USB.
File linux.../drivers/hid/hid-sony.c should be modified in kernel sources and kernel should be recompiled.
I've slightly changed it (to adapt for any Sony PS3 gamepad copy with producer "ShanWan" or "SHANWAN" - my version has capital names):
struct sony_sc { __u8 led_count; }; +/* + * The ShanWan reports the same id as the Sony SixAxis, therefore + * it can't be added to sony_devices[], but we still need to know which one + * we're dealing with. + */ +static int is_shanwan_gamepad(struct hid_device *hdev) +{ + return strstr(hdev->name, "ShanWan") || strstr(hdev->name, "SHANWAN) ; +} + static __u8 *sixaxis_fixup(struct hid_device *hdev, __u8 *rdesc, unsigned int *rsize) { <..........> static __u8 *sony_report_fixup(struct hi struct sony_sc *sc = hid_get_drvdata(hdev); /* + * The ShanWan gamepades when used over USB, times out when + * initialising reports, but it works just fine without init. + */ + if((sc->quirks & SIXAXIS_CONTROLLER_USB) && is_shanwan_gamepad(hdev)) + hdev->quirks |= HID_QUIRK_NO_INIT_REPORTS; + + /* * Some Sony RF receivers wrongly declare the mouse pointer as a * a constant non-data variable. */ <...........> static int sixaxis_set_operational_usb(s /* * Some compatible controllers like the Speedlink Strike FX and * Gasia need another query plus an USB interrupt to get operational. + * The ShanWan gamepads doesn't like these additional steps. */ + if(is_shanwan_gamepad(hdev)) + goto out; + ret = hid_hw_raw_request(hdev, 0xf5, buf, SIXAXIS_REPORT_0xF5_SIZE, HID_FEATURE_REPORT, HID_REQ_GET_REPORT); if (ret < 0) { The kernel download and compile can be found here: after sources download, modify hid-sony.c accordingly and compile.
