Hello,
I've been trying to setup my PS3 remote with XBMC as well, but apparently it's not as easy as the how-to's suggest.
I'm running XBMCLive (9.11) and try to set the thing up with the guide on the wiki, but also tried to get it to work with a script mentioned somewhere here in the forums (clean install and then run some python scripts from a 'bash gui'). Unfortunately I somehow cannot get it to work. Been reading almost all of this topic, but no help .
After fiddling around with packages I get up to the point where it should be listed in /proc/bus/input/device (which it doesn't). It does appear in /usr/share/doc/bluez/examples/list-device, so I assume the pairing went fine (which is also suggested by the logs of bluetoothd.
Is there a definitive how-to for XBMCLive users? Or is there more information on how to debug this?
I tried using the suggested blueman package, which simply wouldn't run (giving errors saying that there's already an agent running). Frankly I don't want to run a full desktop environment to get a remote working.
