Has anyone gotten the newer PS3 remote to work? It looks like the original one has been discontinued...

I put my walkthrough of pairing and getting things going on here:
Configuring the Sony PS3 BD Remote with MythTV & XBMC
if that helps?

thanks for your help. however the steps you outlined in the post still requires me to go to the bluetooth manager everytime i power up the pc/ubuntu. I would like to NOT to do that. there must be some setting that i am missing that is key to making this process stick across shutdowns and power ons.
still needing help.
thanks in advance.

I confirmed that the input.conf in /etc/bluetooth was read. The input.conf is one prepared by someone who made the package and includes lots of key assignment recommended for XBMC.
Does new type remote need differenet key map definitions?

Before:
0x64 = KEY_AUDIO # AUDIO (XBMC recommendation: KEY_A)
0x65 = KEY_ANGLE # ANGLE (XBMC recommendation: KEY_Z)
0x63 = KEY_SUBTITLE # SUBTITLE (XBMC recommendation: KEY_T)
0x0f = KEY_CLEAR # CLEAR (XBMC recommendation: KEY_DELETE)
0x28 = KEY_TIME # TIMER (XBMC recommendation: KEY_END)
After:
0x64 = KEY_A # AUDIO (XBMC recommendation: KEY_A)
0x65 = KEY_Z # ANGLE (XBMC recommendation: KEY_Z)
0x63 = KEY_T # SUBTITLE (XBMC recommendation: KEY_T)
0x0f = KEY_DELETE # CLEAR (XBMC recommendation: KEY_DELETE)
0x28 = KEY_END # TIMER (XBMC recommendation: KEY_END)
