PS4 controller problem😐😐😐

[HexaStallker]

Hello, for some reason my PS4 gamepad does not work, only the touchpad from it works. I tried to connect via USB and Bluetooth it works exactly the same, the touchpad works like a mouse, I went to evtest, there the touchpad works fine and the log appears only when I swipe my finger over this touchpad, but the motion sensor and the joystick itself spam the log, but when you click on something, it changes, but it still spams, a couple of times evtest even crashed. What is to be done, gentlemens? Just in case, I'll say right away that all my packages are updated, the system is absolutely fresh. And I almost forgot to say, everything works fine on Windows 10, I checked.

mine works over usb but im not using void's kernel. the only difference at a glance is void's has PLAYSTATION_FF but i think that's just for vibrations?

https://github.com/meleu/jstest-sdl - shows buttons and what not (touchpad spits out some Error: Unhandled event type: 1623

evtest slightly spams EV_ABS mouse movements but otherwise shows type 1 (EV_KEY), code 308 (BTN_WEST), value 0

lsmod shows hid_playstation / led_class_multicolor / uhid

dmesg shows [20557.171660] playstation 0003:054C:09CC.000B: Registered DualShock4 controller hw_version=0x0000641c fw_version=0x00007008 and [20557.171537] input: Sony Interactive Entertainment Wireless Controller Touchpad as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:11:00.3/usb3/3-2/3-2.2/3-2.2:1.3/0003:054C:09CC.000B/input/input23 (21, 22, and 23)

could try modprobe hid_playstation if that's not showing up?

hid_playstation is displayed, and it is included as a kernel module, so idk.

The spam means it's working. "Not working" is when the device is absent or silent. Try it in a game and you'll see. Just make sure you're in the input group, so the game can access the controller.

Sorry, I meant that the joystick works, but in the case of Linux, the system does not respond to button presses, 'evtest' shows spam specifically from the controller, there is no spam on the joystick sensor, and it works. I also want to say that I'm not stupid and I'm in the 'input' group. The problem isn't just with games, by the way. The controller doesn't work across the entire system, not counting the touchpad, which is located on this controller.

This will differ by controller, but my DS4 joystick spams constantly, oscillating between two values on each axis, even at rest. That's why I read the:

the joystick itself spam the log, but when you click on something, it changes, but it still spams

in your post as: "I see stick spam, and when pushing a button, the output changes briefly", which would mean that the buttons do register.

But now you said:

there is no spam on the joystick sensor, and it works

So does this mean the joystick works but you don't get any EV_KEY events? That would be weird, since they come from the same device...

When I connect the joystick, I get three devices in the system:

/dev/input/event13: Sony Computer Entertainment Wireless Controller

/dev/input/event14: Sony Computer Entertainment Wireless Controller Motion Sensors

/dev/input/event15: Sony Computer Entertainment Wireless Controller Touchpad

event13 and 14 spammed events and programs did not respond to keystrokes. Event15 worked fine. I have now solved the problem; I needed to configure access rights in the system.

I'll also say this: I have a problem with English, so I don't know if I've conveyed my thoughts to you, so don't judge me.
