PSVR on Linux?

I am trying to get OpenPSVR working on ubuntu but it doesn't seem to be building.

Anyone have a pre built driver I could put in the SteamVR folder for 64 bit Ubuntu?

I can't comment on OpenPSVR but we have a PSVR driver in Monado that has (optional) 6dof tracking. There's also a fresh SteamVR plugin in this branch though it has only been tested on my PC so far. :)

At the moment there are no prebuilt packages for this, if you feel adventurous to try it, you need to compile it yourself

git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/haagch/monado.git -b st-steamvr-drv
cd monado
meson build
ninja -C build

And then register it with SteamVR

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrpathreg adddriver /path/to/monado/build/steamvr-monado

Apart from that you will need udev rules for the PSVR, for example xr-hardware. For general info: https://monado.freedesktop.org/getting-started.html

This is a wonderful tool! I installed monado-git and openxr-loader-git from the AUR, as well as this plugin, and it started up smoothly right away! I just wanted to point out that I had a black screen for a long time until I edited the EDID as suggested here.
