I couldn't get the PS3 controller profile to work. Clicking on it did nothing.

List of buttons that should be implemented include d-pad, start, select, square, X, circle, triangle, L1 and R1. Those are at least the main buttons with important features anyways.

), the connection methods are already improved, so should be easier to connect to an PS3, the code is already in place, need to decide about the graphics.

P.S -> I'll upload a alpha version this week to -devel, in order to get feedback about the connnection methods, since I don't have an PS3 or MAC to test it.

I think what would be best is not to worry about the functions too much. Just allow the PS3's on-screen prompts tell the user what does what, much like it does already with a regular controller.
A layout like the below would be the most natural.
Code:
L1 R1
Up /_\
Left Right Select Start [ ] O
Down X

What's also really important IMO is the Playstation Button... It is located right below "Select" and "start"
This button turns the playstation on and trigger the menu where you can exit application or close the playstation.
This should really be in there if that's possible, it would be a shame not to be able to switch the PS3 on with the N900

*beep*
ok, we have activity, but are there any remaining cognitive functions?
(this is when people who know anything on this subject step in XD )
