Peripherals Unresponsive (GIMX + Ubuntu + Bluetooth)

[VoLTz]

Hi everyone,

I need some help installing and getting GIMX working.
I managed to install Ubuntu to a USB, install GIMX and get my PS3 to start remotely via my PC with gimx-launcher. My external bluetooth dongle works, and have had no problems replacing the dongle's address. However, I cannot control the PS with my peripherals. I've attempted to configure my peripherals with gimx-config and gimx-fpsconfig, yet it remains unresponsive.

Honestly at a bit of a loss here, first time trying this and very new to Linux.

Thanks
VoLTz

^^ This alright? I've edited a preconfigured Black Ops config to suit my playing style, although I don't think I should be fiddling with that just yet.. I'm struggling to calibrate my mouse, I've tried to use the mouse calibration tool, but upon hitting start in gimx-launcher, the gui is blank, and only shows information as I turn my PS off. I have a second before it then closes. How do I get into it otherwise?
I think I've managed to set my keyboards bindings up correctly, yet still no response from the PS when attempting to control it with either of my peripherals.

Did you try to enable the Output>Terminal checkbox?
Is there any activity when you enable it, start, and press some controls?

[VoLTz]

I started with the terminal enabled, still no response, however it states:

A device name is empty. Multiple mice and keyboards are not managed.
Warning: Can't open macro directory.

Hi,

I tried your config, and it works fine.
Do you see any other messages in the gimx window?
