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

Hello everybody,

I know some people say this issue is non existing, but so far i cant get it to work without custom scripts or other nasty things.

I don't know what is going on here exactly, but why is there no input event and why does hcitool not show an connection after connecting with the remote.

I would really like to see this issue fixed, would somebody be willing to take a look at it?

Best regards,

Jelle

modprobe uinput?

Hi Bastien,

I did some more testing and loaded the uinput module, put the device in pairing/connecting mode, then started bluetooth-applet. Connected the device and stil NO input device is created and uninput is not used.

$ lsmod | grep uinput
uinput                  6592  0

Could somebody show me any prove that it is possible to create an input device with the Sony BD Remote Control? A list of the below command for the device would be nice to.

evtest /dev/input/eventX

Thanks in advance,

Jelle
