Re: [Bluez-devel] Getting in touch with libs2 and utils2

[Charles Bueche <charles@bueche.ch>]

Hi,

success !!! Works much better than the hacked bthid under gentoo
2.6test11.

I followed your guide below (preceded by a cvs checkout of course). I
then ran 

- hcid (from the gentoo bluez packages)
- /opt/bluetooth/sbin/bthid --daemon
- moving mouse --> discover message in syslog : WORKS. YOUPI !!!

With the hacked bthid, I had problems in startup (mouse not always
discovered, etc).

I don't have any other Bluetooth hardware (beside my Ericsson T68 which
isn't a HID device AFAIK), so I can't make much more tests.

Apparently, gentoo creates the uinput device in /dev/misc instead of the
usual /dev/input. Thanks to Marcel for testing both in parser.c !

I will now take the time to update my Web page. THX.

Charles
