However, since it does not accept connections from unknown Bluetooth devices,Īuthorizations must be set-up by another utility, Should support the SIXAXIS without any patch. Which replaces hidd in recent versions of bluez-utils, This command-line utility searches USB buses for SIXAXIS controllers and tells them to connect to a new Bluetooth master.Īlternatively, it might be possible to support the Bluetooth HID "Report Protocol" on older kernelsīy using bthid instead of hidd, with a similar patch.īesides, the new "input service" ( bluetoothd-service-input), Instead, pairing is done over USB, which is arguably simpler and more secure. (Only required if the SIXAXIS is to be used with a non-PS3 Bluetooth master.) The SIXAXIS apparently does not support the standard Bluetooth pairing procedure Sony already published a similar patch for enabling reporting in USB mode. This patch causes the Linux Bluetooth HIDP daemon ( hidd) to send a special command to the SIXAXIS when it connects. Earlier kernels do not support Bluetooth HID devices
