Yes, I tried all that, didn't work for me. I'm quite sure that it's a
bluez5 compatibility issue, the bluez4 compatibility package didn't do any
good either.
I haven't tested the xwiimote driver, but not so long ago, the in-house

Those limitations are long gone, nowadays xwiimote gives access to all
functionality of the wiimote and all its popular extensions. I think that
it's the way to go if disis_wiimote is ever going to be rewritten.
It is also rock solid.

Well, not for me. ;-) But if you can get it to work with bluez 5 on Ubuntu
20.04, please do let me know whether you need to do anything special, so
that I can give it another go.
To this day, we still use it in L2Ork and have tested it with 24

You need python2-dev, like I wrote earlier. And just remove those two
outdated dependencies that give you trouble, and install libjpeg-dev
instead. And once you've made it work, we'd appreciate your MR to update
the README.md file accordingly, thanks. :)
