That's weird, you can try a pre-build image Raspbian.

On recent kernel (>=4.13), ds3 is seen as a mouse. You can launch this command to disable it:

/usr/bin/xinput set-prop 'Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller' 'Device Enabled' 0

If you want persistence you can do something like this:

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
echo "Section \"InputClass\"
   Identifier \"Dualshock controllers\"
   MatchUSBID \"054c:0268|054c:05c4|054c:09cc\"
   Option     \"Ignore\" \"true\"
EndSection" > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/dualshock.conf
(beware: untested)

GIMX does something similar in the postinst script of the debian package:
