This is your sixaxis bluetooth address. And XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX stands for bluetooth address of your n900. You can get it from Settings->About

This one will restart bluetooth for you, you don't need to do it. And there is error reporting as well.

And if the above still don't work I will eat my boots (as soon as I get ) .

If you still have troubles and the above don't work you can try also:

in xterm as root
1. stop bluetoothd
2. cd /var/lib/bluetooth
3. mv XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX bak
where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX stands for bluetooth address of your n900
4. start bluetoothd
5. /opt/usr/bin/sixauth [sisaxis bt address]

and try again. Have in mind that with above you will lose pairing with any bluetooth devices you have besides sixaxis, so you will have to re-pair them lately (if sixaxis works). And of course you can always restore files from bak directory.


If sixaxis still don't work please zip both bak and newly created XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX directories from /var/lib/bluetooth and attach them here.
I checked the bluetooth address as you said and you were correct - its address is 00:06:F7:08:8E:08.

I did all you said and there is still a problem. The keyboard is the only device that connects with no issues. The joystick now connects, but its 4 leds are blinking just as you wrote (it's connected - I can use it in this state). The mouse however, is not working - the pairing works ok, but connection fails with a message - same behavior as before.
I tried to erase the bluetooth devices (changing the folder to bak as you suggested) but afterwards there is no change - still working as before.

The mouse just refuses to coexist with the joystick

Just a thought I have - can it be related to the fact that the left analog stick is mapped to the mouse? (even though the mouse won't connect even if the joystick is disconnected)

I attached my new bt folder "C8:97:9F:5C:7A:A7"

Don't eat your boots just yet man - take another shot
