I want to emulate two controllers on my PS3 from one keyboard. I could use two keyboards if that is necessary, but I haven't found any descriptions of using two dongles.
If I run gmix-bluetooth with two dongles plugged in, it only shows one of them. If I plug in each dongle separately then they both work fine. Both USB ports work.
The config file has two lines, one for each six axis controller that I plugged in to the laptop.
gimx-bluetooth 0.51
PS3 (slim)
Ubuntu 10.11 32 bits
SMK-LINK class 2 V3.0+EDR VP6493
Laptop built-in keyboard
Borderlands 2
Two dongles not working or misunderstood.
Re: Two dongles not working or misunderstood.
Do your dongles have the same bluetooth address?
This could make Ubuntu fail at initializing the second dongle.

They have different addresses. But anyway, it is working now and I don't really understand why (although if it keeps working, I don't care). Here is what I did.
Initially used dongle 1, worked fine. Don't remember if I booted with it plugged in or live inserted later (I think the later).
With 1 plugged in at boot, I later inserted 2 (and restarted gimx-bluetooth) and it didn't work. The little blue blinking LED on 2 was not blinking.
I pulled out 1 and rebooted with only 2 plugged in and that worked.
So then figuring maybe I had to have them plugged in at boot, I plugged in both and rebooted and both worked.
So I did an experiment where where only 2 was plugged in at boot and I live inserted 1 later. This also worked, much to my surprise.
I don't get it, but whatever, it works now.
