OK, try the attached one :
1. Install it
2. in xterm as root execute sixauth in the same way as before. And to make sure that you are providing correct bluetooth address of your sixaxis do cat /var/lib/bluetooth/XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:X/names and wrote MAC which is on the left of "PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller". 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 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

actually those are great news, you have your joystick working with input plugin.
re mouse - click
status menu->bluetooth->devices->mouse->edit->connect (assuming it is paired of course)

it is paired of course, but the "connect" from the bluetooth devices doesn't work - i checked it all the time this way (without the joystick it connects with no problems).

hm, my mouse refuses to connect too, I need to press a button on it, or scroll the whell. Why don't you try to restart (somethimes i have to so my mouse to connect). Or re-pair. There is no reason your mouse to refuse to connect. Do you see something suspicios in dmesg log.
And you can connect first mouse and aftewards joystick

i tried repairing and device restart and still same problem - even if i try to press a button or move mouse's wheel.
when i tried to connect the mouse the joystick was always disconnected - it refuses to connect even alone - to make it work again i must uninstall the bt package and extmou and exkbd and reinstall again - wont connect otherwise...
i didn't check the log - should i?
Thanks.

hi freemangordon, do you know extkbd will work for palm 3245ww keyboard? Or extkbd is meant to work with almost all the bt keyboard?
Thank you!
Anyone knows that?

extkbd is meant to work with almost all keyboards (bt, usb, what else?). It is bluetooth stack you may have problems with. What I propose is to install extkbd and to go to the shop carrying your n900 with you. Then try it in-place

- you have extkbd/extmou installed and bluetooth input plugin enabled
- you are able to connect your Freedom Pro Keyboard without problems
- you are able to connect your PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller (with LEDs blinking, but otherwise fully functional)
- you are able to pair your Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 but it refuses to connect with message (what?)
-if you reinstall extkbd/extmouse/libbtui-hid (which effectively restarts bluetoothd, nothing more) you are able to connect your mouse. What about other devices?
Please clarify on the above so both of us are on common ground. And please clarify do you have any custom setting for bluetooth/X/(whatever may be related).
And could you please test following - while you have keyboard and sixaxis connected, remove pairing with mouse and re-pair it again.
