I myself have never edited any of the xbmc keymappings, however I am using a newer version of xbmc from the svn repo's than I was previously.
Also, has anyone successfully gotten disconnect on timeout to work with Ubuntu Lucid? If my issue was just a keymapping related problem I don't see how it could affect the timeout settings.

ok so I have updated bluez to 4.64, and the same thing is happening. the remote pairs, but will not timeout, and no matter how I adjust the keymaps in input.conf, nothing changes.
It is almost like the input.conf file is not being read at all, as even setting the general timeout value to 1 (ie 1 minute) the remote will not disconnect on timeout.

ok so I have solved my problem.
This may not have been the best way to do it, but i simply installed bluez from the kitlaan karmic repository and everything is working great. it times out properly, it registers as PS3 Remote when using bluetoothd -n -d and it works across reboots. I find it hard to believe what the wiki says regarding the patch already being applied to bluez 4.63 and above. But if anyone else is having the same problems, my solution works for the time being.

Well I've checked the bluez input changelogs and they did add something regarding idletimeout so I believe this is a bug.

Yeah, i'm in the same boat. It's paired and all, but only the directional, number, and enter buttons work. It also doesn't time out at all. Using bluez-4.60-ubuntu8. Is there some change to the input.conf that I need to be aware of?

I've cleanly applied the patch to bluez 4.63 and it timesout fine.
All buttons work but they need to be remapped in input.conf. Looking at the XBMC log, xbmc does register the buttons but doesn't know how to react.

I was able to compile bluez under ubuntu lucid, but ran into a bunch of problems with all the other bluez packages (alsa and the like). Anybody got a full compile guide for all necessary packages?

Should I ask that again to get a response?

Sorry for being away for such a long time. Work/vacation/etc... sigh.
I'll update the patch to fix the s/minute/second/ bug.
Then I'll get packages up on the PPA for 4.64 (lucid,karmic,intrepid).
As far as I can tell, the base bluez 4.64 code doesn't have any of the changes.
