Sony BD Remote Control still does not make input event, what part of the driver is driver missing?

Hi all,

I thought I gave my Sony PS3 Bluetooth remote an other try, see all my previous messages trials and bug reports back in the mail archive.

The device still does not create an input event that can be used out of the box. What parts are missing to get this working?

The device connects with the gnome bluetooth tool, you see the connect icon go on very short then the connect icons goes away. hcitool con also does not show the device and there is no input event created.

What is going on here? And what need to be done here.

Best regards,

Jelle de Jong

Hi all,

What is going on here? And what need to be done here.
