1. Reinstalled sixad and Sixaxis Support
2. Overwrote the button config file at /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/
3. Rewrote the BT address on the console with GlovePie

aiyush, if you look back over the past 2 or 3 pages you'll see I have exactly the same issues. New versions of sixad and zeemote do not help.

Just like you, the first time i tried to use it after the flash, it looked like it connected fine, but the N900 took no input from the pad. After various methods of trying to fix (read post) I can only end up at the same point (being asked to let pad connect for about 5 mins, then getting flashing leds on pad, blue blutooth on N900 and no input still.) all of the standard responses do not fix my issue,

Input is disabled,
pad is programmed with correct mac,
All applications on latest versions,
manual start will not initiate sixad via term,
Purge using term does not give me the results as mentioned ina response to my post either.

I'm totally stuck and have another 2 days in a hotel tomorrow night, just want it all working as it has been for the past 6 weeks, at my witts end!

1. Do you have /dev/input/js0 device file after successful connect ("2" LED is red on controller)?

Code:

~ $ ls -l /dev/input/js0 
crw-rw-r--    1 root     root      13,   0 Apr 19 23:41 /dev/input/js0

2. Do you have joydev module loaded?

Code:

~ $ lsmod | grep joy
joydev                  9088  1

3. Have your HAL daemon found the joystick? (Note the input.x11_options lines.)

Code:

~ $ lshal | grep PLAY -C2
  info.category = 'input'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
  info.product = 'PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller (00:1E:3D:91:FD:XX)'  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_1'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event4'  (string)
  input.product = 'PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller (00:1E:3D:91:FD:XX)'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'joystick'  (string)
  input.x11_options.MapAxis1 = 'mode=relative axis=+2x deadzone=5000'  (string)

4. Do you have xserver-xorg-input-joystick package installed?

Code:

~ $ dpkg -l *joystick*
[...]
ii  joystick                          20051019-5maemo0
ii  xserver-xorg-input-joystick       1:1.5.0-1maemo0

4. Did your xserver noticed the joystick?

Code:

~ $ grep -i joy /tmp/Xorg.0.log 
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/joystick_drv.so
(II) Module joystick: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
(II) Joystick: PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller (00:1E:3D:91:FD:XX). bus 0x5 vendor 0x54c product 0x268 version 0x100
(II) Joystick: found 29 axes, 17 buttons

I cant get mine to connect. Maybe due to overclock kernel? Or PR1.2 mismatch? I have a DS3, and noticed on the sixpair site it says 5. Known Issues The DS3 is reported not to work in Bluetooth mode
