“sixaxis-timeout” does not manage to correctly set the disconnection timeout for DS3

[Drag0nFly]

Unsure if “sixaxis” is still needed in order to configure a DualShock 3 anymore (or if the repo is maintained), but since I've apparently sunk into a rabbit hole for two days trying to configure the – ridiculously low default timeout (10 mins) – I've installed & configured sixaxis as a systemd service which at least apparently tries to set this via “sixaxis-timeout /dev/input/event4 2700”.

However, nothing is actually changed – the controller still disconnects after 10 minutes on the dot.

Any ideas welcome. (btw. the reference to “js1” above was not as a result of me, it is some standard S**emd crp.)
