I have this awesome device that I recently got at radio shack it allows me to plug in a Play Station Controler into my pc. Because i am sutch a Play station fan i found this to be a wonderfull controler to use for all my game play. My only problem is i cannot seem to get it to work in linux. I prefer to do everything in linux and not in M$ Winblows if anyone knows of a way i can get this device to work in linux please tell me how.

Welcome to Linux Questions.

If it is a USB device, then you could try modprobe usb-hid (usb joysticks use the 'human interface device' module). If not, then you could try reading through the kernel joystick documentation... find it in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/input

Ok, my bad! The module is simple hid, so try modprobe hid.
