So I bought this PC/PS3 Controller that works for both PC and PS3. It works fine when playing Virtua Tennis 4 (on my PC), but how do I connect it to Skyrim? The only option I can see is for 360 controllers. Any help is appreciated!

Power A offers a controller that has the same configuration and larger size of an Xbox 360 controller, the Pro Elite Wireless Controller. It does have a bunch of varying reviews on Amazon however, and I have no experience with it so I can't recommend it either way.
After many hours of researching, I have found the solution.
The problem:
As of Fedora 17, the default kernel no longer has the 'joydev' kernel module (see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815168).
The solution:
Install the kernel-modules-extra package in yum:
yum install kernel-modules-extra
Now when you plug in your controller/gampad/joystick, a device node should show up as /dev/input/jsX. You can then test the device using jstest from the 'joystick' package:
jstest /dev/input/jsX
You can then use a program like 'qjoypad' to map button presses/etc on your device to simulate keyboard/mouse buttons/movements. I have posted a formal post on my website containing the above information and a how-to for installing qjoypad in Fedora 17 since it is a rather involved process.
I hope this helps others!

Use the MotioninJoy DS3 tool, it comes with a Xbox 360 controller emulator and it works great. Just be sure to read the guide on how to install the PS3 control and enabling the emulator.
