I've updated the kernel and kernel packages yesterday with properly build ones from the original sources. If you used any of my .install files, you have 'Xiaoka Maemo Extras' repository added to application manager. Just install sixaxis-support package and do an update - this will update your kernel packages.

This is where the xserver-xorg-joystick package takes over and emulates key presses and mouse of the data received from /dev/input/js0

Check whether you have /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/x11-sony-sixaxis.fdi in place on your N900. If so, do a reboot and try again.

P.S. Thanks for sharing your experience and tips. I updated the guide.

Windows users may try: http://bqron.free.fr/PS3/BT/BtSix.1.5b.zip
This is something Google found for me. I have no Windows, so I cannot check it myself.

glad I could help - but none of it is possible without you

I have the was already rebooting, saw that your update was now available, installed it.

The files do exist - so I rebooted again (just to be safe after the update)

PS3 controller connects quickly, but no mapped keys -- I am testing in the x-term window to see if any of the PS3 keys type the letters - is that acceptable for testing ?

is there any process (ps -ef | grep ????) that I can look for to see if the key-mapper is running ? or something I can test with ?

At this point I am ready to recovery-flash the n900, restore backup, and try your latest package to see if it works properly...


Side note -- is your installer/package optified ?

does this version have the status bar portion ? I have no new options listed there.


edit: while the PS3 Controller is connected of course....

sixaxis-support breaks 3rd party package policy....
