Hi Smoku,
i try to download sixaxisd from this link:

http://mail.pdaxrom.org/downloads/PS...-0.2.1.tar.bz2

I try to compile with Maemo SDK Image for VMWare. I extract this TAR.BZ2 and from Terminal i just type MAKE.
Now i have the compiled SIXAXISD.
I transfer to N900 in directory /usr/bin and after Permission Denied to lunch these, i type CHMOD 777 sixaxisd.
The results is this error:

/usr/bin/sixaxisd: line 1: syntax error: "(" unexpected

Where I wrong?

If you send me your compiled sixaxisd, i should not have problems? Or I miss the libraries?

Here you are...

I also attached sixpair compiled on Ubuntu.

Thanks Smoku! Your compiled sixaxisd now work.
Listening for connections state.
But when i press PS button, sixaxis try to connect to n900 for 5 - 6 time but not concluded connection.
Why?
Is possible that i jump this procedure, and not connect correctly?

[sbox-MaemoKernel: ~/maemo_kernel/kernel-2.6.28] > patch .config < ../rx51_defconfig+mouse+joystick.diff
[sbox-MaemoKernel: ~/maemo_kernel/kernel-2.6.28] > make EXTRAVERSION=-omap1 oldconfig

Does anyone know if this controller would work?

I assume it does, but you can never be too sure.

Have you "paired" your sixaxis with your N900 using sixpair?

Yes Smoku.
The Sixaxis connect to N900 correctly but N900 not establish the connection.
To N900 appear the message that Sixaxis try to connect. Accept? Yes or No?
Even if I press Yes, it asks me continuously for 5 - 6 time.

I followed closely your guide, but I missed part of the kernel:

[sbox-MaemoKernel: ~/maemo_kernel/kernel-2.6.28] > patch .config < ../rx51_defconfig+mouse+joystick.diff
[sbox-MaemoKernel: ~/maemo_kernel/kernel-2.6.28] > make EXTRAVERSION=-omap1 oldconfig

Is possible that I avoid these 2 steps, my N900can not connect to the Sixaxis?

These steps are for the ones wanting to compile kernel themselves.

You cannot normally connect sixaxis to N900, because BlueZ 4 used by Maemo5 does not support device initiated connections yet.

You need to run sixaxisd first and press PS button after you have it listening for connections.

farkkk yeah! keep it up man. would be great if you can make the bluetooth stack up more than 1 controller.

sixaxisd is able to handle up to 7 controllers

Smoku,
I run sixaxisd first and press PS button after i have it listening for connections.
The 2 line of compiling kernel is necessary?
I type this line for insert and flashed the new module:

/home/user # mv *.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28-omap1/
$ sudo flasher-3.5 -f -k sbhome/..../kernel-2.6.28/arch/arm/boot/zImage -R

First i power on the N900 with 'U' key pressed and the flasher, flashed correctly!

Smoku, il possible chat with you with MSN or IRC? I don't have Jabber
Very Thanks!
