+QtSixA is the Sixaxis Joystick Manager. It can connect PS3 hardware
+(Sixaxis/DualShock3 and Keypads) to a Linux-compatible machine.
+Currently it supports Sixaxis buttons, axis, accelerometers and LEDs.
+
+Some patches thankfully taken from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qtsixa/.
+
+Notes:
+
+Be sure you are using a Bluetooth dongle with a HCI version higher than 1.1
+by using `hciconfig default version | grep HCI`.
+
+Please note that due to the behaviour of "sixpair" and a replaced "hidd",
+the stock Bluetooth stack is getting disabled while running and no other
+Bluetooth devices will work, until the "replaced" hidd is disabled again
+from `sh /etc/rc.d/rc.sixad stop`.
+
+In case something like `kdesu` is not installed, you need to run `qtsixa`
+with root rights.
+
+Steps:
+
+- connect your device through USB
+- start "qtsixa" and pair your device (Tasks->Pair Device to PC)
+- start "sixad" by `sh /etc/rc.d/rc.sixad start`
+- press the PS button on your controller
+
+Pairing is just needed once. If wanted, you can add rc.sixad to your
+rc.local and pressing the PS button again after a reboot without any
+further interaction.
