I'd start here:
sixaxis on bluetooth

I found this on our page of tips for PS3 owners, which you should bookmark if you haven't already:
Please READ ME FIRST (known issues, useful links, and help)

Cheers,

Also, after running yum update and getting the updated kernel which includes USB Bluetooth device support, you need to reboot. After that it should just be:

Become the root user:

Code: Select all

su -l

(that's a lowercase l, not a number 1)
<enter your root password>

Stop hidd service:

Code: Select all

service hidd stop

Shutting down hidd: [ OK ]
[EDIT -- corrected command]

Start hidd service again with these options:

Code: Select all

hidd --server --nocheck -n

Now press the PS button on your Sixaxis / Dualshock 3 -- you can pair up to two controllers. Expected result should look similar to this:

hidd[8284]: Bluetooth HID daemon
hidd[8284]: New HID device 00:16:FE:C9:79:A8 (Sony Computer Entertainment Wireless Controller)

Hit Ctrl-C to exit.

(we should update our Readme post -- I think the 'Sixaxis on bluetooth' discussion currently linked might have been back from YDL 6.0)

I try enter " hidd --server --nocheck -n" , the return "can't listen on hid controal channel , address already in use", i don't know what wrong with the software. I check " ls /dev/input" the return "event0 event1 event2 mice mouse0 mouse1" , any idea

Did you successfully stop the hidd service first?

Code: Select all

service hidd stop

[EDIT - corrected command]

Expected result:

Shutting down hidd: [ OK ]

Then start it again with:

Code: Select all

hidd --server --nocheck -n

I enter the "hidd stop", and then nothing happen.

Sorry, my fault -- that should be:

Code: Select all

service hidd stop

Sorry, my fault -- that should be:

Code: Select all

service hidd stop

I enter the " service hidd stop" , and return " bash: service: command not found", are something wrong in my YDL6.2?
I enter the "rpm -q kernel" , and the return
kernel-2.6.29-3.ydl61.3
kernel-2.6.29-3.ydl61.4
Is the mean my YDL6.2 have 2 kernel?
Thanks

You need to use the su command including the -l or --login, not just su by itself. If using su by itself you still have the same command paths as your regular user account and, as shown above, the service command isn't available there (unless you specify the path to it).

So it's, exactly as shown:

Code: Select all

su --login

Code: Select all

service hidd stop

Code: Select all

hidd --server --nocheck -n

Then press the PS button on the controller you want to pair. You can pair up to two, or one BT keyboard and one controller, etc.

I enter the "rpm -q kernel" , and the return
kernel-2.6.29-3.ydl61.3
kernel-2.6.29-3.ydl61.4
Is the mean my YDL6.2 have 2 kernel?

The kernel-2.6.29-3.ydl61.3 kernel is the original kernel included with YDL 6.2, and the kernel-2.6.29-3.ydl61.4 one is the one that was updated to include USB Bluetooth device support. The old kernel is retained in case you need to switch back to it due to a problem with the new one. You can select which one to load using the TAB key at the kboot prompt, but it should default to the .4 one without any interaction on your part.

Thank you very much for the instruction, my wireless controller can pair to the ps3 right now, i'm going to buy a BT keyboard.
