[Bluez-users] Logitech diNovo Desktop: keyboard keys and Mouse buttons

[Bluez-users] Logitech diNovo Desktop: keyboard keys and Mouse buttons

[Christoph Burger-Scheidlin]

Hello all,

I have a logitech diNovo desktop and connect it directly to my bluetooth 
adapter in my laptop. I noticed that the F11, F12 and the Refresh button do 
not work and are not reported by xev. However, hciconfig shows an increase in 
the RX bytes and acl counters. Does this mean that the keyboard transmits 
data to the computer? I want to find out if the keyboard is transmitting a 
keycode, can someone point me to some resources that tell me how to listen in 
on the traffic.

I have a similar issue with the mouse buttons, i.e. that they report the same 
buttons to xev and an evtest program. I want to figure out how to see what 
the mouse is actually reporting.

Thanks you,

Christoph Burger-Scheidlin

when you call hidd and it shows boot-protocol, then this is no wonder.
You need a Linux kernel with HID report mode enabled HIDP module. You
might wanna try the latest 2.6.21-rc5 kernel.

Currently I am running 2.6.20 (with Ubuntu patches) with the mh1 patch applied 
to it. I am not sure, if the keyboard is in boot-protocol mode. The syslog 
message is:

hidd[3632]: New HID device 00:07:61:3C:31:3C (Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard),

hidd reports:
00:07:61:3C:31:3C Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard [046d:b307] connected

Since my original email, I have figured out that the mouse problem is mainly 
due to using the /dev/input/mice interface, however, even when switching to 
evdev, the buttons above and below my scroll wheel do report the same button 
press (button 4 and 5 respectively).

I have attached dumps made with hcidump of the traffic of all my mouse buttons 
and of the keys that are not working in the hope that this information is 
useful.

the binary dumps are not really useful. Make them with "hcidump -X -V"
and copy only the text into an email with comments.

However it looks like you are using the HID report mode and so any non
interpreted key code is a problem of the HID subsystem. This means that
this email actually should be send to LKML. To make sense out of it you
have to include the HID descriptor. Use sdptool to get it.

Marcel
