[Bluez-users] Apple bluetooth keyboard fun...

[Patrick <patbert@patbert.com>]

I have had my apple bt keyboard working in linux for some time on my old
pc. I now have a new pc and I can't get the damn thing going...

I am using the same bluetooth adaptor from the old pc and as far as I
can tell the same kernel config (as relates to bluetooth) as the old pc. 
This is with bluez-libs and utils 2.7.

Reading through the archives I saw some mention of hcidump but I don't 
seem to have that.

I have hidd --server in my startup scripts...

hidd --show
00:0A:95:3A:63:E4 HID Boot Device [05ac:0208] connected

Here is my bluetooth kernel config. As far as I know all I need is 
RFCOMM and HIDP support but since I was having trouble I figured what 
the hell and turned on everything. What can I safely turn off down there?


Linux Kernel v2.6.8-rc2 Configuration

--- Bluetooth subsystem support
<*>   L2CAP protocol support
<*>   SCO links support
<*>   RFCOMM protocol support
[*]     RFCOMM TTY support
<*>   BNEP protocol support
[*]     Multicast filter support
[*]     Protocol filter support
<*>   HIDP protocol support

<*> HCI USB driver
[ ]   SCO (voice) support
<*> HCI UART driver
[*]   UART (H4) protocol support
[*]   BCSP protocol support
[ ]     Transmit CRC with every BCSP packet
< > HCI BCM203x USB driver
< > HCI BlueFRITZ! USB driver
<*> HCI VHCI (Virtual HCI device) driver

My hcid.conf file...

# HCI daemon configuration file.
# $Id: hcid.conf,v 1.4 2004/04/29 20:14:21 holtmann Exp $

options {
         autoinit yes;
         security user;
         pairing multi;
         pin_helper /usr/bin/bluepin;
}

device {
         name "BlueZ (%d)";
         class 0x100;
         iscan enable; pscan enable;
         lm accept;
         lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
         auth enable;
         encrypt enable;
}

bluepin is just the basic echo "PIN:0000" or whatever...

What am I missing here? I am completely stumped. Thank you for any help!

Patrick
