I just played around with it a little more and I found that when I first start wminput or wmgui and start the polling and THEN simultaneously in the terminal run "sudo hcitool cc <mac of wiimote>" I get a connection as usual. I don't have a single clue what's happening but I believe something in the wmgui/wminput code isn't authorizing with the Wiimote correctly so you have to force hcitool to do it for you.
At least this way I can get my Wiimote to connect via bluetooth on a 2.6.27-11-generic Kernel with the btusb module. -- nintendo wiimote not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291051 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
