Read_Authentication_Enable and Write_Authentication_Enable
and they are the master switch that makes your controller require
authentication for all connections (this is not always useful)

though as you can see, the remote control (strangely, for something
produced by Sony) is providing only "Microsoft" usage page inputs and so
far as I know, bthidd will not be able to understand this stuff as-is. You
might look around to see if any specification for these are publicly
available.
what is it you hope to do with this remote control? I suppose that bthidd
could be modified to translate button pushes into key or X events, but I'm
not sure if there is a standard way to do this kind of thing in unix?
My apple keyboard at least has some volume controls and an eject button
but I've never looked at how to get them to do anything. I suspect there
ought to be a global source point for these, because a keyboard event
would only be delivered to the window with focus. (hotkeys presumably
bypass this somehow)
