All the howtos are for sixad. This should "just work". Since 5.14 there is authorization needed when DS3 is connecting (device is not marked as trusted when connected on USB) so please make sure you have default agent registered. I assume you are using bluetoothctl so do: agent on default-agent Then you should get authorization request in bluetoothctl when DS3 is connecting. -- Best regards, Szymon Janc -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
