[Bluez-users] current state of Microsoft bluetooth mouse (scroll wheel)

[Bluez-users] current state of Microsoft bluetooth mouse (scroll wheel)

[Scott Gilliland]

I've got a "Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth", and while it
does mouse properly, neither the scroll wheel or the extra buttons work.
I've just patched my kernel with patch-2.6.12-mh2.gz from
http://www.bluez.org/patches.html, and I have bluetooth-utils 18.1, but
still no luck. I get nothing out of /dev/input/mice for those buttons or
the scroll wheel. 

hidd --show output:
00:0D:3A:A3:C2:5A HID Boot Device [0000:0000] connected [boot-protocol]

Does any one have any clues? Do I need to grab something out of the
bitkeeper repository where the patch came from?

Thanks for any help,
Scott G.

is this the first or second genration of the mouse. I own the first
generation and it works fine in report protocol mode with my -mh patch.
The Bitkeeper repository is out of date, because we don't use Bitkeeper
anymore. The latest stuff is inside the Git repostiories at kernel.org.

Regards

Marcel

It doesn't actually say what version it is (so i maybe ought to assume
version 1, but you never know with M$). Is there a good way to tell if
that patch made a difference? Or should my hidd output have been
different?

Could you explain the details of "report mode" vs "boot mode"? I only
have a vauge idea of what the difference is.

Also, is this to say that if i use a git kernel, there's no reason it
shouldn't work perfectly? 

Thanks again,
Scott.

use "hcitool info ..." as root and show us the output.

Look at the mailing list archive or the USB HID specification.

Using a 2.6.12-mh2 kernel should be fine.

Marcel

Marcel,

Thanks again for helping with this. It's a "Microsoft intelliMouse
Explorer for Bluetooth",  model 1001. No mention anywhere of it being a
second version. I'll try re-patching and building my kernel with a git
kernel from kernel.org when I have a chance (first week of school here,
kinda busy). I'll drop a line to say how that goes.
