Two PS3 controllers connected via USB identified as one
I'm currently trying to get 2 PS3 controllers (that are connected via USB) to work on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine. For most games this works out-of-the-box but some games such as Shutter identify the two controllers as being only one. I found out that in the "Shatter-case" the "Bus-Vendor-Product-Version" information that is provided by e.g. cat /proc/bus/input/devices is used to identify the gamepad (which is identical for the both controllers):

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=054c Product=0268 Version=0111 N: Name="Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller"

There is a config file for Shatter (~/.sidhe/Shatter/data/profiles/default_plr_profile.xml) that stores the information like this:

<singleplayer_controller_guid>gamepad_030000004c0500006802000011010000</singleplayer_controller_guid>

Do you have any ideas how I could work around this (maybe changing the "Product"-id or something like that for one controller)?

Switching to xboxdrv solved at least part of the problem. The controllers work for most games now (except "Shatter"). I'm running xboxdrv with the following command:

sudo /usr/bin/xboxdrv --daemon --detach-kernel-driver --mimic-xpad --next-controller --mimic-xpad

Could be that it's actually a bug in the Shatter code - I will post in the respective forum asking for help there.
