Thanks Geoff, I added your change from ps3-bt-event-filter.diff and all is
well with the build.  I knew you haven't been actively supporting BT, so the
error was not surprising.  Thanks for the quick fix, I just can't live
without using my SIXAXIS in Gnome; too lazy to use the mouse way over on the
coffee table ;)

Sadly BT isn't working now for me, with hidd not recognizing the SIXAXIS,
unlike <2.6.23-rc3.  The reasons for Geoff not supporting it are becoming
painfully obvious now.  Hopefully I can hack something together, but losing
BT is probably the least of anyone's problems.  Thanks again to all, keep up
the good work!
