Typically DS3 should be handled like this: 1. make sure you don't have sixad/qtsixa installed as it was reported that it conflicted with sixpair plugin (udev rules) 2. make sure you have sixaxis plugin installed - this plugin depends on udev so it is not builin into bluetoothd but loaded on start from /usr/lib/bluetooth/plugins 3. plug it into USB (don't press PS button yet) you should see something like "sixaxis: compatible device connected: ...." in bluetoothd logs 4. unplug it 5. press PS button Device should now connect and you should be asked (in bluetoothctl or UI) to authorize connection. After that you should be able to reconnect without need of pluging it with USB first. This was mostly tested with genuine controllers. There were reports that some of clone devices doesn't behave exactly the same ie. use different pid/vid or don't report correct BT address over USB. Making them work would probably require some extra work, but I don't have any of those clone devices. -- 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
