Controller does not auto-reconnect at boot

[ProfessorKaos64]

I am making use of this wonderful software for my RetroRig project (https://github.com/ProfessorKaos64/RetroRig), but I have a small issue. It seems when I reboot, the PS3 controller doesn't pick back up in the boot process (if I am reading into this being a "service", i.e. sixad). This makes XBMC not pick up the controller when I start it sucessfull after xbmc auto loads at bootup.

Is there a way to call the "synching function" that the PS Button performs manually on bootup? Any thing I can do to remedy this behavior?

I actually did createa workaround. See: https://github.com/ProfessorKaos64/RetroRig/issues/33

Essentially I launch a "watcher" script at boot if users want to use the PS3 Controller with XBMC (this is until you possibly provide a workaround or explanation of what I'm doing wrong).

Code:

[code]
#!/bin/bash

clear
echo "Recconecting PS3 Controller for XBMC.."
sleep 3s

count=0

while ! grep -q "PLAYSTATION(R)3" /proc/bus/input/devices
do
    # not set, echo below fore TESTING ONLY!!!
    # set ps3_blu_complete to 0 for false
    echo "Your controller is not turned on! please press the PS3 Button!"
    sleep 3s
done

# give the controller about 3 seconds to start
sleep 3s
# fork to background
echo starting xbmc
sleep 2s
xbmc

I know I should have it /usr/bin/xbmc. I'll fix that. This is called via a modified xbmc.desktop link, so even if the user closes XBMC and finds the normal icon, its now changed to mine :) The Icon caption reads "XBMC PS3 (Custom) so users can see its changed.
