You may have already found the answer, since it's answered in a few
FAQs, but in short I'll mention it here:

You can use the "analog stick" feature of the dual-shock controller.
You can NOT use the "shock" feature of the dual-shock controller.

A few people have libraries and descriptions of how to read the
analog values of the control sticks.  If you download the hmazesrc.zip
"Haunted Maze" code from my page, and check out the
lib\epad.c and lib\epad.h files that I use for control pad functions you'll
get one example for sure.  There are alot of other examples on
other member pages also.

Good luck,
