Controlling XBMC with a PS3 controller.
I finally got RetroPie up and running on Xbian. Lots of little issue's along the way (getting sound working was one). Now I would like to control XBMC via my PS3 controller, which is already working in Xbian over usb. I tried creating a keymap.xml is ".xbmc/userdata/keymaps/keymap.xml" but it still it not working. Controller works fine in emulationstation/retroarch. i got the ps3 config from the xbmc wiki.

Code:
<keymap>
  <global>
    <joystick name="PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller (00:06:F7:66:24:76)">
      <button id="1">Info</button>          <!-- Select -->
      <button id="2">ContextMenu</button>   <!-- L3 -->
      <button id="3">CodecInfo</button>     <!-- R3 -->
      <button id="4">Play</button>          <!-- Start -->
      <button id="5">Up</button>            <!-- D-Pad Up -->
      <button id="6">Right</button>         <!-- D-Pad Right -->
      <button id="7">Down</button>          <!-- D-Pad Down -->
      <button id="8">Left</button>          <!-- D-Pad Left -->
      <button id="9">Rewind</button>        <!-- L2 -->
      <button id="10">FastForward</button>  <!-- R2 -->
      <button id="11">SkipPrevious</button> <!-- L1 -->
      <button id="12">SkipNext</button>     <!-- R1 -->
      <button id="13">ParentDir</button>    <!-- Triangle -->
      <button id="14">Stop</button>         <!-- Circle -->
      <button id="15">Select</button>       <!-- X -->
      <button id="16">OSD</button>          <!-- Square -->
    </joystick>
  </global>
</keymap>

I got the name of my generic PS3 controller using the following command.
Code:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
Which gave me the name and following info.
Code:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=054c Product=0268 Version=0111
N: Name="SHENGHIC 2009/0708ZXW-V1Inc. PLAYSTATION(R)3Conteroller"
P: Phys=usb-bcm2708_usb-1.2/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2:1.0/input/input2
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=event2 js0
B: PROP=0
B: EV=1b
B: KEY=7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ffff 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=7fffff00 27
B: MSC=10
I edited in the name of my controller but it still it not working. Here is a snippet of the edit to keymap.xml
Code:
<keymap>
  <global>
    <joystick name="SHENGHIC 2009/0708ZXW-V1Inc. PLAYSTATION(R)3Conteroller">

What do I need to do to get this PS3 controller working in XBMC?

Off topic quetion. I stopped XBMC from starting on boot, but how do I set emulationstation to start on boot?
