Hello,

has anybody got that combination running?
When I plug in my BT-DG03BF USB bluetooth dongle "hcitool dev" does not
show any device. Please find the /var/log/messages below.

Any idea how to get the dongle working? The keyboard and mouse?

TIA

Ulrich

the dongle of the Barton desktop is a HID proxy dongle. You must run
hid2hci first before you will see it with hciconfig.

which I would love to do, but it seems the SuSE 9.1 Pro does not include
the hid2hci tool.

Can I download and compile from SF or do I need to upgrade all bluez
packages in that case?

Ulrich

that's maybe true. However the upcoming SuSE 9.2 will include it ;)

It should be possible to compile only hid2hci. Download bluez-utils-2.9
and run configure. Make sure that the USB library is installed. Then
change to the tools directory and type "make hid2hci". Then you should
get the hid2hci binary that you can copy everywhere you like.

Regards

Marcel

sometimes it works even if it reports an error. Check with hciconfig if
you see a Bluetooth device now.

You are  right. It did work :)
hciconfig did see the bluetooth device and I could convince hcitool to
find my mouse and connect to it. 
Seems I have to find out how to automate the mouse and keyboard
connection. But one of the FAQs on your homepage will probably help.

Thanks for your efforts

Ulrich

no need for doing this, because the mouse and keyboard will reconnect
when you are trying to use them. Simply start hidd server at boot and
run hid2hci.

Marcel
