[Bluez-users] Microsoft Mouse

[Bluez-users] Microsoft Mouse

[Jonathan Sass]

I am trying to install the Microsoft Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

Using a custom built 2.6.8-1.521 with uinputs enabled and the latest 
bluetooth cvs.

The hardware I have is supported according to Marcel Holtmann's list of 
devices.

I do not know what to do to get it to work tho.

I can run a modinfo hidp. It shows I am using ver 1.0

I can "see" the mouse and keyboard when I do a scan.
I can "connect" using the -c <address> command

But I do not know what to do next.

I have been reading www.beuche.ch/comp/mx900/mx900_old.html

It  mentions looking for and loading uinput, but I cannot find any 
module to load.
I run bthid -d yet no log gets created.

I have made the changes in the xorg.conf file as listed in this 
document.

May I have some pointers as to how to proceed?

Thank you,

Jonathan

using uinput and bthid is the old way. Try hidp kernel module and hidd
from the latest bluez-utils.

Hi Jonathan,

you know that there is a "Reply to All" button in your mail client ;)

It is meant to be quite easy with any newer Linux distribution, where
the BlueZ packages and the kernel are up to date.

This is all about socket programming. There is no need to look inside
the kernel.

Regards

Marcel
