Hello Bastien,

Thanks for this, I've updated http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/Input to 
reflect explicitly this information.

Do you know why device initiated connections are not supported  (Lake of 
time,
technical issues, ...) and if someone is working on this integration ?

Regarding your sixaxis patch, I can help to develop / test it if you want.
