While my question is not related to GIMX, the problem I face is due to face to use of it and this is Game-pad specific community so the experience of the users can help me.
I have used GIMX in two modes, always using Dualshock 3/SixaxiS.
1) SixaxiS wired to Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi wireless to PS3
2) SixaxiS wireless to Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi connected to DIY (Arduino Board + CP2102) and DIY wired connected to PS3
Both ways GIMX works fine, but no FFB. That's my problem. The same setup for 2) but suing PC+Ubuntu 14.04-3, I got FFB
Using FFTEST tool to verify o have:

$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices

So the guidance I'm looking here is: Does anyone has Pi 2 running Raspbian (Jessie - November 2015 or Wheezy - May 2015) that can get FFB working on wired DS3 controller?
Thanks
