Dualshock 4 Problem (Linux)

Im trying to use my DS4 to play Demon Souls when i go under 'pads' i click 'handlers' i select the native 'dualshock 4' option and all the buttons are grayed out and it says 'no device detected'. But my DS4 is detected if i use the 'evdev' option. I do not know what evdev is but it certainly does not work properly with a DS4 or i would not be making this post. 

My DS4 is usb connected to my laptop.
