1. Download attached.deb to your n900
2. As root in xterm install attached .deb:
dpkg -i sixauth_0.0.1_armel.deb
3. Make sure extmou and extkbd are installed and bt input plugin is enabled (so you can connect mouse and keyboard but not sixaxis controller)
4. As root in xterm execute:
/opt/usr/bin/sixauth 00:06:F7:08:8E:08
5. Try again to connect sixaxis controller
Have in mind that leds will continue to blink even when controller is connected. Will try to find a solution once it is confirmed that above works.
BTW anyone could try the above, you only need to change 00:06:F7:08:8E:08 with MAC address of your sixaxis controller

No, do not reinstall anything, just turn bluetooth off from status menu, as root (make sure you are root otherwise command will fail silently) in xterm execute above command and turn bluetooth on again.
And by saying fail you mean you still have "accept connection..." message?
Cannot understand what is wrong, I repeat it - this should work. It works for me. Maybe it is something with your bluetooth devices database.
Could you please try once again. If you still have this "accept connection..." message and still have good will to continue tomorrow I can give you sixauth with error reporting (lacking in current version) and will investigate further

i think my bluetooth devices database should be clean since i reflashed just ~a week ago and haven't added any new device except for my laptop, the BT keyboard, mouse and the DS3.
i have good will to continue of course - i'm a software engineer myself (C++, C#) so i know you are the hard worker from the two of us
finally, i would really really like to see this resolved since i intend to use all 3 devices at the same time - so go ahead - feel free to send me my daily tasks
- just please don't do anything that might force me to reflash cause this would mean long time of installations and configurations...Thanks for the help man - i mean it.

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.
