Hi, thank you for great job with xwiimote. I have managed to pair the wiimote with linux. However, when connecting the wiimote to host (ie pressing A button), the PC is able to detect the connection from wiimote, but the LEDs do not stop blinking. The PC responds to the D-pad buttons so I believe the connection has been established properly. Any advice on how I can troubleshoot this problem?

I look at the source and see there is a hid_output_raw_report command which sends the LED command to the wiimote. I inserted some debug statements and see that it does indeed invoke this command (and returns with value of 2...bytes?). But somehow, the wiimote does not respond to this LED report.

I tried with an original wiimote and it works fine. Testing the 3rd party wiimote with a Wii host works too (ie LEDs stop blinking and a single LED lights up.)

Thanks for the help.
