Hi Milhouse - 

Thanks for the pointers.  I've disabled some plugins so the kodi log is shorter and able to be uploaded to ix.io.  I am now understanding that you prepared special "x" builds for these 5.3-rc's.  The tests I had done previously did not include these "x" builds.  Now that I understand, I have tested them and have discovered the break occurs between 0821x (rc-5) and 0827x (rc-6)

0722x - works - http://ix.io/1XYb
0814x - works - http://ix.io/1XYd
0821x - works - http://ix.io/1XYv
0827x - does not work - after pairing, does not register as controller - http://ix.io/1XYh

Edit 1: Bluetooth adapter worked in 0821x after re-plugging

Edit 2: I also tested regular #0827, and it working in this build - http://ix.io/1XZH

Can you test #1007x which is based on 5.4-rc2 - it's a bit rough (early days) with a few issues due to namespace/depmod changes - but it does include quite a few HID and Bluetooth changes that are not currently in 5.3.y.

I've had a look at the commits bettween 5.3-rc5 and 5.3-rc6 and while there are several Bluetooth and HID changes, there's nothing Sony/PSx related, so I'd need to keep digging. Fingers crossed the issue is already fixed in 5.4-rc. If not, if you're willing I could try bisecting the kernel... 

Hi Milhouse - 

Well, the bad news is that my testing box relies on the nvidia-legacy driver, so Xorg does not load in #1007x.  The good news, is that I tested this on another box I have which does not use nvidia-legacy, and the PS4 controller works as usual.

I guess I just need to wait for nvidia-legacy to be reenabled in these builds, and then I should be good to go.  Do you have any insight on why it was disabled, and if there are plans to bring back support?
