[Bluez-users] General Debian bluez question

[russellturner]

Hi Everyone,
I am hoping someone can answer a general Debian-bluez question.

I have installed Debian sarge and upgraded to the sid kernel so I can
apply the patch patch-2.6.10-mh2.gz.

When installing sarge I also choose the bluez-utils package, but there
is another package called kernel-patch-2.6-bluez. Should I also be
patching the 2.6.10 kernel with this patch, as well as the "mh2" one?

My Microsoft bluetooth mouse works fine without the debian patch - or at
least it seems to! I'm just curious about whether I need both patches. I
will continue to use the "mh2" patch do I can enjoy scroll-wheel
support.

Thanks.

I don't know what kernel-patch-2.6-bluez is, ask the maintainer. The
only official patch is the -mh patch.

The -mh2 will give you report mode protocol support and this means the
scroll wheel should be useable.

Marcel
