I got a dialog in n900 when I pressed the joystick's button saying "do you want to connect to ps3 joystick" - I pressed yes - but still had the same behavior as before - add,add, remove,remove.
So I reflashed the device and it worked, so I started to isolate the application that causes this problem.
After many attempts I finally found the cause - it is a package that both "extkbd" and "extmou" are dependant on and it is called "libconbtui0-hid" - remove it and everything works fine.

for all those with the problem of the repeated question if you want to accept the connection to PLAYSTATION 3 Controller.

I have done it this way (i dont know if certain steps are important or not but thats just how i did it and it worked. No other way did and i was reading every post).


1. apt-get remove sixad
2. apt-get remove sixaxis-support
3. nano /etc/bluetooth/main.conf (if you dont have that nano, i think you can install it via apt-get install nano)
-> it should exactly look like this


the important row is "DisablePlugins" and i dont know if its true, but for me, i think it was important, that "input" was the second value there. Well, after you are done, press CTRL+X and if it asks to overwirte, press y and Enter.

4. apt-get install sixad
5. apt-get install sixaxis-support
6. reboot your device !!!

Thats it. It worked for me exactly that way. It might be important to install that sixad and sixaxis-support via console, because i did the same steps before but with application manager and it had no effect. Well, just follow the steps. Oh, and i removed that one bluetooth-mouse-support package there (dont remember the name, just search for "mouse" in the app manager)
