[Bluez-users] Current information on bluetooth mouse support

[Bluez-users] Current information on bluetooth mouse support

[Robert Moskowitz]

I am trying to find information on bluetooth utilities.  Everything I 
have found so far is either at least a year old, and does not map to 
files on my system.

Anyway, I have an HP NC4010.

I am using a Cables Unlimited dongle:

/usr/sbin/hciconfig -a
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:0D:18:01:20:B9 ACL MTU: 192:8  SCO MTU: 64:8

        Link policy: RSWITCH HOLD SNIFF PARK
        Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT

        Class: 0x120104
        Service Classes: Networking, Object Transfer
        Device Class: Computer, Desktop workstation

0x512
        Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio (10)


So far I have been working with my IOgear mouse.

After much effort, I have gotten it connected and authenticated.  Now if 
I turn it on and press its connect button I can then do a:

hidd --search
Searching ...
        Connecting to device 00:0A:94:C0:C3:19

and

 hcitool info 00:0A:94:C0:C3:19

        BD Address:  00:0A:94:C0:C3:19
        Device Name: Bluetooth Mouse
        LMP Version: 1.1 (0x1) LMP Subversion: 0x356
        Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio (10)
        Features: 0xff 0xff 0x0f 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
                <3-slot packets> <5-slot packets> <encryption> <slot offset>
                <timing accuracy> <role switch> <hold mode> <sniff mode>
                <park state> <RSSI> <channel quality> <SCO link> <HV2

                <power control> <transparent SCO>

But I loose connection with this mouse if it goes idle long enough, and 
so far I have had to power it off and reconnect.

I have read messages like:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.user/6609/match=automatically+accepting+pairing+mouse

But I don't have a /etc/default/bluez-utils file to add:

	HIDD_ENABLED=1
	HIDD_OPTIONS="--server"

Nor can I figure out what file this now goes into.

Also how do I get the Gnome bluetooth tools working on my Centos desktop?

I still have my headphone, stereo headset, and TREO 650 to connect....

Hello Robert. I successfully solved this problem. You don't even need to 
power-off or reset the mouse. Follow the directions in my earlier e-mail:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=30640322&forum_id=1883
( or search for "Microsoft IntelliMouse with kernel 2.6.18 and 
patch-2.6.18-mh1 is broken (fix provided)" ).

Well I am running Centos 4.4, that means Bluez 2.1 for now. As far as 
the kernel, well.....

But when I look at your notes, I am left straggling in the dust. I am 
not a unix heavy, missed my chance 10+ years ago with Solaris 
3.whatever.... And I don't do kernel sources.

Why are you initializing the mouse at boot? I only use my wireless mouse 
sometimes.

WHere is the sleep script? Or is that notebook suspend?

I was pointing out to the user-level commands. Here are they again:

	try this:
	killall hcid
	killall hidd

	hciconfig hci0 up
	<physically reset your mouse>
	hcitool scan
	<note its address that looks like this: 00:50:F2:E8:E0:71>

        hcid
        hidd -t 10 --connect <address that looks like this: 
00:50:F2:E8:E0:71> --server
        hciconfig hci0 down
        usleep 500000
        hciconfig hci0 up

I think that the above "hidd" will solve your problem because it is 
responsible for keeping connection active to your mouse. -t parameter 
informs the daemon when your mouse will go idle.

The options your mentions should cause the same effect after you add "-t 
X_in_minutes" parameter after "--server" so you might try this simpler 
method first.
