Hi, folks.

I have the official Samsung USB adapter, which I purchased specifically to use with my Playstation 3 controllers after seeing videos on YouTube showing them being used on a Xoom.

However, I can't seem to get the controller to play nicely with the Galaxy Tab. I'm using a MicroUSB-to-USB cable and it sees the controller when I plug it in, but no button presses are recognized.

The controller is fully charged and there are no overcurrent errors.. Is there something inherently different about the Samsung USB adapter versus the Xoom's OTG adapter? Is there anything I can do to get it to work other than buying another gamepad?

**EDIT**: I found a thread on XDA about this issue, and I guess it requires some sort of special kernel module. I'm quite new to all of this, so I guess I have some research to do.
