[Bluez-users] problem with keyboard/mouse

[Bluez-users] problem with keyboard/mouse

[Dave Sailer]

Can't get Microsoft keyboard/mouse to work on gentoo 2.6.8.1. With
patch-2.6.8-mh2.gz, I noticed the following out of dmesg...

bluetooth: Unknown parameter `l2cap'

Without the patch, it's a similar message but with this at the end...

<3>l2cap_init: L2CAP socket registration failed.

I'm a bit confused about the patch - there are gentoo users claiming to
use bluetooth without it. Does anyone know if the patch is in the gentoo
kernel, and with what version?

my patch is for a vanilla kernel and not for a distribution specific
kernel. Try using a clean 2.6.9-mh1.

If a patch not applies cleanly without any rejects, you should be
worried and don't proceed unless you really know what you are doing.

Would it be possible to get a changelog for the 2.6.x -mh patches either
at http://www.holtmann.org/linux/kernel or
http://www.bluez.org/patches.html ?

Thanks,
Steve

my patch script actually generates already a changelog file from the
Bitkeeper descriptions of the changesets. Let me think about where to
put it.

if you only see a reject for the Makefile then this ok as long as
Makefile.rej only shows you the hunk for the EXTRAVERSION.

Maybe you wanna do a "make clean" or "make distclean" first. Or simply
try a vanilla 2.6.9-mh1.

Marcel

Hi,

to add my grain of salt : I run 2.6.9-gentoo with patch-2.6.9-mh1.gz,
and I see no problem at all. I have however no Microsoft hardware, only 
a Logitech MX900 mouse.

this is not a hardware problem. I think the kernel source code got
corrupted and the compilation produced bad code. He must start from a
clean kernel source.

However if the HID boot protocol mode is enough, then the 2.6.8 kernel
includes everything you need.

I tried that yesterday. I moved the old source out of the way and
re-emerged 2.6.8.1. I could try 2.6.9 gentoo and the patch.... joy, more
compiling.
