Dear bluez developers, I have a Sony PS3 Sixaxis compatible controller made by ShanWan. Is it possible to make it work with bluez sixaxis plugin? I tried it on Ubuntu 14.10 running Linux kernel 3.16 and bluez 5.20, compiled with sixaxis option. I've paired this sixaxis controller with sixpair tool. I've run 'bluetoothctl' and issued commands 'agent on', 'default-agent', 'pairable on', 'power on' and pressed 'PS' button on controller, but didn't get sixaxis controller to pair: ----bluetoothctl--begin---- [NEW] Controller 00:20:E0:xx:xx:xx desktop [default] [bluetooth]# agent on Agent registered [bluetooth]# default-agent Default agent request successful [bluetooth]# pairable on Changing pairable on succeeded [bluetooth]# power on [CHG] Controller 00:20:E0:xx:xx:xx Class: 0x00010c Changing power on succeeded [CHG] Controller 00:20:E0:xx:xx:xx Powered: yes [NEW] Device 00:16:FE:xx:xx:xx 00-16-FE-xx-xx-xx [bluetooth]# trust 00:16:FE:xx:xx:xx [CHG] Device 00:16:FE:xx:xx:xx Trusted: yes Changing 00:16:FE:xx:xx:xx trust succeeded [CHG] Device 00:16:FE:xx:xx:xx Connected: no [DEL] Device 00:16:FE:xx:xx:xx 00-16-FE-xx-xx-xx ----bluetoothctl------ In syslog I got following messages: ----/var/log/syslog--part1--begin---- bluetoothd[648]: Refusing input device connect: No such file or directory (2) bluetoothd[648]: Refusing connection from 00:16:FE:xx:xx:xx: unknown device ----/var/log/syslog--part1--end---- I'v run 'hcidump -x' and two parts of the dump caught my attention.

When I connect this sixaxis controller to USB, I got following lines in syslog: ----/var/log/syslog--part2--begin---- usb 2-2: new full-speed USB device number 2 using uhci_hcd usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=054c, idProduct=0268 usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 2-2: Product: PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller usb 2-2: Manufacturer: ShanWan hidraw: raw HID events driver (C) Jiri Kosina usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid usbhid: USB HID core driver sony 0003:054C:0268.0001: Fixing up Sony Sixaxis report descriptor sony 0003:054C:0268.0001: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed: -1 sony 0003:054C:0268.0001: timeout initializing reports input: ShanWan PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-2/2-2:1.0/0003:054C:0268.0001/input/input13 sony 0003:054C:0268.0001: input,hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [ShanWan PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-2/input0 ----/var/log/syslog--part2--end---- This sixaxis controller works as joystick input device when it is connected to USB. It also works ower bluetooth with SHANWAN_FAKE_DS3 branch of sixad from: https://github.com/yarick123/qtsixa/tree/feature/SHANWAN_FAKE_DS3 The problem with sixad is that it takes over bluetooth service and other bluetooth devices can't connect when sixad is active and that is the reason why I would like to ge it work with bluez. Please tell me if you need any more information.
