Re: [Bluez-devel] Logitech MX900 mouse with Dell Inspiron 8600

[Charles Bueche <charles@bueche.ch>]

Hi again,

responding to my own email after studying fake.c : I got it to compile
on 2.6, but this code isn't able to run as module on 2.6 kernels, which
changed the module format.

Peter : do you plan a 2.6 version anytime soon ?

TIA,
Charles
