[PD] sixaxis, can't read from hidraw

[a. tonal]

ok, adding myself to root group did the job.
thanks for your help.
the sixaxis object now reports acceleration data, but only y and z axis.
axis x shows a constant value of 414, even when i shake the controller.

is my controller broke?

thanks
olli
