[Bluez-devel] mx5000tools 0.1

Hi,

I ported mx5000lib[1] .NET library to Linux and I made mx5000tools[2]. 

It currently supports most operations that control the content of the
screen. Only 2 operations that SetPoint does on windows are not
supported, because I haven't managed to make them work. One is to
display images, I can decode the sent data[3], but when I try re-sending
the same data, it doesn't show up on the screen. The second is to change
the content of the menus there again, the keyboard doesn't seem to be
responsive to the commands that I send.

It currently only works in HID mode because the bluez code does not yet
support full HID with hiddev.

I should have a homepage and a SVN tree for it soon, I'll post the
address when I set it up.

How DID you get it into HCI mode?

honestly? i found a patch in the archives that was actually the
reverse of what was needed to switch it into hci mode. i'm not exactly
sure what happened with that but i wrote a patch that was the basic
reverse of said patch and tested it... its in 3.7 i think...
definitely in CVS. I've been happily using hci mode ever since... it
isn't perfect however. sometimes the hci device needs a reset to work
correctly but not always. also sometimes i have to run hid2hci
multiple times. It's a pain in the butt but since I never reboot my
linux box it's a rare necessity. i'm not experienced with driver
hacking so i can't be much more help there... but I wasn't prepared to
be stuck in hid mode after spending $230 CAD on the keyboard set.

New version:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~tester/dist/mx5000tools-0.1.1.tar.gz

I adds a daemon that translated some hid codes that are not understood
by the Linux kernel into usable ones (using uinput). And it also adds
support to display images. There is also a netpbm based function to
transform pbm files into the image format accepted by the keyboard.
