[PD] sixaxis, can't read from hidraw

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Sounds like a permissions issue.  You need to have permissions to
read/write from the hidraw device.  On my machine, the 'root' group has
perms.  So add yourself to the 'root' group.

hans at palatschinken:~ > ls -l /dev/hidraw*
crw-rw---- 1 root root 251, 0 2009-06-09 14:45 /dev/hidraw0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 251, 1 2009-06-09 14:45 /dev/hidraw1
crw-rw---- 1 root root 251, 2 2009-06-09 14:45 /dev/hidraw2
crw-rw---- 1 root root 251, 3 2009-06-09 14:45 /dev/hidraw3

Search the archives, there is a lot of discussion about this related to
hid.
