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.

Hello,

With the current bluez-utils version (3.22 or CVS), the PS3 bluetooth 
controller (Sixaxis) is
not recognized.


The input service doesn't support device initiated connections. See:

==== Workaround ====

Basically, using the file /var/lib/bluetooth/xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx/hidd 
renamed as input will help since at startup,
bluetoothd-service-input will scan this file and fill 'GSList *devices' 
accordingly.
Also, the file /var/lib/bluetooth/xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx/trusts has to be 
updated .

For those interested, a step by step description can be found here :

Haaa. Once I get the capabilities right in my sixaxis patch (I'll be
able to compare the hidd generated output with the one from my patch), I
think I'll be able to use udev to automatically add the device as
supported via Bluetooth once connected via USB.

I'll try and get to it in the week.

Cheers
