Hi, this is another attempt to get the sixaxis plugin merged upstream in bluez, now cable pairing is done without libusb, which is good because the hid driver does not need to be detached anymore. The work is based on patches by Bastian Nocera, so its SOB line comes first on the third patch, even though many parts have been totally reimplemented. More comments on the patch itself. Bastien, I took the liberty to impersonate you in the second patch about re-adding manager_get_default_adapter(), because the change was taken out from your bluez rpm package. I hope this is OK. I was wondering if it was possible to have the equivalent of this plugin as a separate daemon doing the association part with bluez over dbus, instead of having it builtin (I do not know the bluez dbus interface at all), and if there were any major drawbacks with that compared to the builtin plugin. What are your opinions on that? Anyhow, HOWTO test it: - Get a kernel supporting HIDIOCSFEATURE and HIDIOCGFEATURE: linux-next should have that, or Jiki Kosina's hidraw-feature branch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/hidraw-feature - Build it and install it with its linux-libc-dev package ("make deb-pkg" on recent kernels builds that already). - Apply the patches in this series and configure bluez, the ioctl above should be detected automatically and the plugin enabled. - If there is any problem, try backing up and cleaning up /var/lib/bluetooth/ TODO before merging: - Check the routine about bluetooth association. Also, is it strictly necessary to grant manually the first connection? - Add the actual official version of linux-libc-dev in which the hidraw ioctl will be merged (now it is just 2.6.3x as a placeholder). - Check the last comment from Marcel about the timeout in http://marc.info/?l=linux-bluetooth&m=125525415718147&w=2 Could you comment on the third patch about that, please? - When the controller is connected via USB after it is working over BT it is seen as a second controller and the second LED is turned on, should we force BT disconnection on USB connection? - Test with multiple controllers, and/or multiple BT adapters, which I can't do right now. - Remove the XXX comment about the lowercase hex bdaddr format. FUTURE plans: - Add support for battery status report - Add support for Playstation Move (I don't have the hardware, tho), Pascal?
